When the read iterator stops reading a chain of statements from the
cache it advances all other sources by calling next_key() until the
last_stmt is reached. This effectively cancels the benefit of using
the cache, because all statements skipped due to the cache are fetched
from in-memory trees or, even worse, on-disk runs.

To fix this, let's introduce and use skip() method which makes the
source iterator jump to the first statement following a particular key.
Its implementation is similar to and reuses the code from start and
restore procedures.

With this new method, we don't need to mangle iterator_type/key when
reopening source iterators during restoration so that they start
iteration from last_stmt: instead we can advance them with skip() on
the first iteration. Let's do this too, because the iterator can
benefit from knowing the real iterator type (e.g. cache can stop
ITER_EQ iteration even if there's no chain in the cache, by looking at
vy_cache_entry::left_boundary_level,right_boundary_level).

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:

  • MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol
  • two data engines: 100% in-memory with optional persistence and a 2-level disk-based B-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 app 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.

To download and install Tarantool as a binary package for your OS, please visit https://tarantool.org/download.html.
