Tarantool

Introduction

Tarantool is a NoSQL In-Memory database. It's distributed under BSD licence and is hosted on [github][tarantool-github].

Tarantool features:

• Defferent index types with iterators:
  • HASH (the fastest)
  • TREE (range and ordered retreival)
  • BITSET (bit mask search)
  • RTREE (geo search)
• multipart keys for HASH and TREE indexes
• Data persistence with by Write Ahead Log (WAL) and snapshots.
• asynchronous master-master replication, hot standby.
• coroutines and async. IO are used to implement high-performance lock-free access to data.
  • socket-io/file-io with yeilds from lua
• stored procedures in Lua (Using LuaJIT)
• supports plugins written on C/C++ (Have two basic plugins for working with MySQL and PostgreSQL)
• Authentication and access control

Quick start

This section descrives how to run YCSB against a local Tarantool instance

1. Start Tarantool

First, clone Tarantool from it's own git repo and build it (described in our [README.md][tarantool-readme]):

cp YCSB/tarantool/config/tarantool-tree.lua <vardir>/tarantool.lua
cp TNT/src/box/tarantool_box <vardir>
cd <vardir>
./tarantool_box tarantool.lua

OR you can simply download ans install a binary package for your GNU/Linux or BSD distro from http://tarantool.org/download.html

2. Run YCSB

Now you are ready to run! First, load the data:

./bin/ycsb load tarantool -s -P workloads/workloada

Then, run the workload:

./bin/ycsb run tarantool -s -P workloads/workloada

See the next section for the list of configuration parameters for Tarantool.
