1. A method for performing a refactoring process on a database system, comprising:
receiving, by a computer system from a requesting computer system, a request to access first data from the database system, wherein the request conforms to a relational database application programming interface (API), wherein the database system includes a relational database storing structured data and unstructured data that is being refactored according to the refactoring process such that the unstructured data is stored in a non-relational database;
determining, by the computer system, that a first database element within the relational database that includes the first data has not yet been refactored;
retrieving, by the computer system, the requested first data from the first database element;
providing, by the computer system, the requested first data to the requesting computer system;
performing, by the computer system, a refactoring operation for the first database element, wherein the refactoring operation includes:
storing a portion of data in the first database element identified as unstructured data in the non-relational database; and
including, in the relational database, a reference to a location of the portion of data in the non-relational database; and
storing, by the computer system, refactoring information indicating that the first database element has been refactored.
