Up to this point, the is_temporary flag has been set for surrogate space
definitions used to transfer meta-information during compilation stage
of DML queries (CREATE TABLE/INDEX etc).

At some point, it became possible to use spaces created in Lua in
SQL statements. Since it is allowed to create temporary spaces in
Lua, not all temporary spaces in SQL are surrogate wrappers. To separate
real temporary spaces (i.e. which came from space cache) from surrogate
ones, is_ephemeral flag is now set in such spaces instead of
is_temporary. Note that there can't be mess between these flags since
ephemeral spaces can exist only during execution of VDBE bytecode.
Also note that flag is required only for debugging facilities.

Tarantool is an in-memory database and application server.

Key features of the application server:

  • 100% compatible drop-in replacement for Lua 5.1, based on LuaJIT 2.1. Simply use #!/usr/bin/tarantool instead of #!/usr/bin/lua in your script.
  • full support for Lua modules and a rich set of own modules, including cooperative multitasking, non-blocking I/O, access to external databases, etc

Key features of the database:

  • ANSI SQL, including views, joins, referential and check constraints
  • MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol
  • two data engines: 100% in-memory with optional persistence and an own implementation of LSM-tree, to use with large data sets
  • multiple index types: HASH, TREE, RTREE, BITSET
  • asynchronous master-master replication
  • authentication and access control
  • the database is just a C extension to the application server and can be turned off

Supported platforms are Linux/x86 and FreeBSD/x86, Mac OS X.

Tarantool is ideal for data-enriched components of scalable Web architecture: queue servers, caches, stateful Web applications.
