TiDB and CockroachDB both use Facebook's rocksdb. I would not call it an unproved KV store. Both also use etcd's raft implementation which is also quite well proven.

GTK still looks that bad? That is absolutely horrendous.

(ActorDB developer here) Most distributed newSQL databases are an SQL layer on top of a distributed KV store. What they try to do is hide the distributed reality of their database so it acts like a regular database from the client side. Of

I think you mistook a barrier to entry (getting over the syntax) for a permanent cognitive load. At our company we don't care if you know erlang or not, but we expect a developer to learn it on the job and have had no issues either wit

So single threaded, blocking file io. Not very impressive or useful (as a lib).

They say tank is a good choice of you need simplicity and performance. Yet they do not provide any evidence of it being faster than Kafka or any indication of it being fast at all. If you're not mentioning kernel calls, allocations, th

No performance numbers. No tests. Nothing about how it manages concurrency, how it actually writes to disk, how it does replication. It appears to be a server not a lib. Why would someone use this instead of kafka?

Is it better than: http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/queues/no... Which is what Rust mpsc uses. It has a big advantage in being short and easy to understand.
