I've been looking into Riak mainly because its key-value style, but what I'd really love to see is an exact replica of Redis which is purely disk-based.
I don't know if anyone else feels a need for this, but I'd love to be able to do my entire DB with it, but the problem is RAM is really expensive to scale compared to disk space.

- firefoxman1 14y agoOh that's really cool. Its using leveldb got me thinking, how hard would it be to create a Riak client that emulates Redis?
- DanWaterworth 14y agoWell, I use redis quite a lot and I find that the feature I most value is sequential consistency. That's not something that can be tagged on later.
- lucian1900 14y agoAnother option might be to just let redis swap, and run it on its own VM. It should perform similarly to most disk-based dbs.
- otterley 14y agoThere's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. Perhaps you could break your requirements apart and use Redis for some of your needs (e.g. queues, which shouldn't be terribly RAM intensive) and MySQL for key-value storage.
