Historically, we join a new replica off the last checkpoint. As a
result, we must always keep the last memtx snapshot and all vinyl data
files corresponding to it. Actually, there's no need to use the last
checkpoint for joining a replica. Instead we can use the current read
view as both memtx and vinyl support it. This should speed up the
process of joining a new replica, because we don't need to replay all
xlogs written after the last checkpoint, only those that are accumulated
while we are relaying the current read view. This should also allow us
to avoid creating a snapshot file on bootstrap, because the only reason
why we need it is allowing joining replicas. Besides, this is a step
towards decoupling the vinyl metadata log from checkpointing in
particular and from xlogs in general.

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.
