Déjà vu :-)
I did almost this exactly last fall, except I used JSON and JSON Schema instead instead of thrift. Called it hummingbird db. I submitted to YC but all I got was an email that it wasn't that interesting.
- andres 15y agoWould love to hear more about hummingbird db. Email me at andres@octopart.com. We chose Thrift because the schema was flexible and that was the biggest problem for us at Octopart.
- nl 15y agoDid you consider Solr, in "schema free mode" using <dynamicField />? Edit: I see you are using Solr internally for implementation.
- LiveTheDream 15y agoThis actually sounds similar to ElasticSearch itself.
- anko 15y agoit sounds like heaps of people are trying to do very similar things.. just this week I've been hacking on a rails engine/plugin that lets you define your models with mongo_mapper and then request them as json schema. It's not quite complete but json schema gives you interfaces for your restful apis..
