The SWIM unit tests code with the fake events and time does lots
of forbidden things: it manually invokes pending watcher
callbacks; manages global time without a kernel; puts not
existing descriptors into the loop. These foul blows open the
gates to the full control over IO events, descriptors, virtual
time. Hundreds of virtual seconds pass in milliseconds in
reality, it makes SWIM unit tests fast despite complex logic.

All these actions does not affect the loop until yield. On yield
a scheduler fiber wakes up and

    1) infinitely generates EV_READ on not existing descriptors
       because a kernel considers them closed;

    2) manual pending callbacks invocation asserts, because it is
       not allowed for non-scheduler fibers.

To avoid these problems a new isolated loop is created, not
visible for the scheduler. Here the fake events library can rack
and ruin whatever it wants.

Tarantool

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.
