Tokyo Cabinet and CouchDB as Mnesia backends
If you are somehow familiar with Erlang you already know that Mnesia is a distributed database system that was designed with the following goals in mind:
- Fast real-time key/value lookup
- Complicated non real-time queries mainly for operation and maintenance
- Distributed data due to distributed applications
- High fault tolerance
- Dynamic re-configuration
- Complex objects
Even if the presentation is not so great (see below), Rickard Cardell’s experiments of using Tokyo Cabinet and CouchDB as Mnesia backends sound like a new and interesting usecase for NoSQL solutions.
