Tokyocabinet. Sql. The arrow of time - A short time with MongoDB. I have created a port for FreeBSD 8 for MongoDB but I won't be using it for anything because of these things I found out about it: MongoDB has no, worth repeating: NO provisions for on-disk consistency. It doesn't fsync, it doesn't use algorithms that would ensure some degree of safety (e.g. journalling), nothing. It does lazy writes! Which means that in case of server or process crashes (which will happen with 100% probability) the whole database could very trivially be corrupted beyond repair. Apparently, the developers are willing to work on solving the data consistency issue (which will probably mean they'll have to abandon the pure-mmap approach or at least make very careful use of fsync()s) some time in the future, but I am puzzled by the low performance.
Replication (which MongoDB has built-in) is not a replacement for on-disk consistency, for much the same reasons because RAID is not a replacement for backups and vice-versa: they simply solve different problems. 플래시 카페 (Flash,액션,소스,강좌,포토샵,PHP,자바스크립트) Igvita.com.

Update 7: The Future of Scalable Databases by Robin Mathew. Update 6: NoSQL : If Only it Was that Easy. BJ Clark lays down the law on which databases are scalable: Tokyo - NO, Redis - NO, Voldemort - YES, MongoDB - Not Yet, Cassandra - Probably, Amazon S3 - YES * 2, MySQL - NO. The real thing to point out is that if you are being held back from making something super awesome because you can’t choose a database, you are doing it wrong.Update 5: Exciting stuff happening in Japan at this Key-Value Storage meeting in Tokyo.
