How does it compare to CockroachDB?
- tidb 11y agoOne of TiDB authors here. Our design is more similar to Google F1, currently we're focusing on building an independent SQL layer above any transactional KV storage.
- ddorian43 11y agoDoes there exist any distributed transactional KV storage engine (open source) ?
- ngaut 11y agoYes, currently TiDB works well with HBase. Coming soon. There are alse some distribute transaction layer on HBase.Ex:https://github.com/XiaoMi/themis https://github.com/XiaoMi/themis
- onestone 11y agoSo TiDB is similar to the (unfortunately) abandoned FoundationDB SQL Layer, but written in a proper language? Nice :)
- c4pt0r 11y agoAha! You got it. And we also want to build the distributed kv part in a proper way.
- samkone 11y agoCockroachDB is closer to Spanner. The globally distributed primitives that power their SQL layer which is F1. I guess that TiDB is on layer above Cockroach.
- BramG 11y agoCockroach Dev here. We're actively working on a SQL layer actually. We really need to update our github readme to contain info about it. It's under active development and of course, it's inspired by F1.
- BramG 11y agoCockroach dev here. We're actually currently implementing a SQL layer within cockroach. So it wont' be layered, it's the main method of interaction with CockroachDB.
