I think the comparison was totally appropriate because the article specifically highlighted mdbm's design limitations. The whole point was that given the compromises mdbm makes, it is possible to yield significant performance gains, so if those design limitations fit your context (and it cited 4 specific examples where Yahoo uses them), you ought to consider it.
- hyc_symas 12y agoMy point, and the reason I will still say MDBM is garbage, is that you can get mmap/zero-copy performance without sacrificing reliability. Only a fool would argue for the performance without reliability when they can get both. And with a lower total system cost.
- cbsmith 12y ago> Only a fool would argue for the performance without reliability when they can get both. And with a lower total system cost. I think that statement is absolutely true. I just think you have a myopic view about how to achieve performance and reliability. Look at Yahoo's example use cases.
