"Database" isn't entirely correct, its a distributed K/V store. Maybe its just me, but the word database implies a lot of additional functionality that Voldemort doesn't have.
- j_baker 16y agoAccording to wikipedia: A database is a system intended to organize, store, and retrieve large amounts of data easily. I don't think calling Voldemort is wholly inaccurate, but I suppose you could make the case that it doesn't do the system justice due to the connotation of the word database (which usually makes people think of a SQL database).
- face 16y agoPerhaps you are thinking of a "Relational Database"?
- sophacles 16y agoMaybe he was thinking of querying by values? My (admittedly cursory) examination of this suggests I must know the key and only the key to get a value. To me a database is searchable.
