This module implements the pure Ruby client which connects to the server of
|
||
|
|
Tokyo Tyrant and speaks its original binary protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tokyo Tyrant is a package of network interface to the DBM called Tokyo Cabinet.
|
||
|
|
Though the DBM has high performance, you might bother in case that multiple
|
||
|
|
processes share the same database, or remote processes access the database.
|
||
|
|
Thus, Tokyo Tyrant is provided for concurrent and remote connections to Tokyo
|
||
|
|
Cabinet. It is composed of the server process managing a database and its access
|
||
|
|
library for client applications. The server can embed Lua, a lightweight script
|
||
|
|
language so that you can define arbitrary operations of the database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The server features high concurrency due to thread-pool modeled implementation
|
||
|
|
and the epoll/kqueue mechanism of the modern Linux/*BSD kernel. The server and
|
||
|
|
its clients communicate with each other by simple binary protocol on TCP/IP.
|
||
|
|
Protocols compatible with memcached and HTTP/1.1 are also supported so that
|
||
|
|
almost all principal platforms and programming languages can use Tokyo Tyrant.
|
||
|
|
High availability and high integrity are also featured due to such mechanisms as
|
||
|
|
hot backup, update logging, and replication.
