Ardb: A High Performance Persistent NoSql, Full Redis-Protocol Compatibility

Ardb is a BSD licensed, redis-protocol compatible persistent nosql, it support multiple storage engines as backend like Google's LevelDB, Facebook's RocksDB, OpenLDAP's LMDB, WiredTiger, PerconaFT, the default backend is Facebook's RocksDB.

Compile

Rocksdb is the default storage engine, to compile with rocksdb, just type make to compile server & lib & tests.

To use LMDB or LevelDB or WiredTiger as storage engine, you should set env storage_engine first.

storage_engine=lmdb make
storage_engine=leveldb make
storage_engine=wiredtiger make
storage_engine=perconaft make
storage_engine=forestdb make

It should compile to several executables in src directory, such as ardb-server, ardb-test etc.

Features

Full redis-protocol compatibility
2d spatial index supported. Spatial Index
- Redis 3.2 geo commands support
Most redis commands supported, and a few new commands.
- Ardb commands VS Redis Commands
Replication compatible with Redis 2.6/2.8
- Ardb instance work as slave of Redis 2.6/2.8+ instance
- Ardb instance work as master of Redis 2.6/2.8+ instance
- Ardb instance work as slave of Ardb instance
Auto failover support by redis-sentinel
Lua Scripting support
Backup data online
- Use 'save/bgsave' to backup data
- Use 'import' to import backup data

Clients

Since ardb is a full redis-protocol compatible server, you can use most existed redis client to connect it without any problem. Here lists all redis clients. http://www.redis.io/clients

Known Issues:
- For Node.js, the recommand client node_redis would try to parse redis_version:x.y.z from info command's output, Ardb users should configure redis-compatible-version in ardb.conf to makesure that redis_version:x.y.z exists in info command's output. There is an online redis GUI admin service redsmin build on node_redis, users can test ardb's redis protocol conformance by a visual way.

Benchmark

Benchmarks were all performed on a four-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520@2.27GHz, with 64 GB of DDR3 RAM, 500 GB of SCSI disk

The benchmark tool is 'redis-benchmark' from redis,50 parallel clients, 10000000 requests, 1000000 random keys each test case.

Note:

Ardb uses 1 threads in this benchmark test, since redis is single threaded application. But ardb is actually a multithreaded applcation, you can start the server with more threads by setting 'thread-pool-size' to 2 or higher to increase the read/write performance.
