  • License: OpenLDAP Public License
  • Search key length: Maximum length of 1/3 of a page (~1365B)
  • Read-only access to DB:
  • Supported architectures: i386/x86-64/PowerPC/ARM

• Kyoto Cabinet (replacing Tokyo Cabinet)

  • Wrappers for: C, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl, and Lua
  • Packages available for: Fedora 23+, EPEL5+
  • Latest release: 1.2.76 / 2012-05-24

  • Search key length: No limit from database itself (uses c++ std::string or combination of c-style string and its length).
  • Read-only access to DB: See http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/spex.html, part Sharing One database by Multiple Processes. TL;DR: One DB cannot be accessed by multiple processes, DB file is protected by reader-writer lock (which means it will probably require write access even for read-only operation).

  • Query keys larger than X: DB supports matching by regex, which should be possible to use for this kind of query. Other possibilities are match by prefix and match by similarity.
