### Storage Engine
|
||||||
|
As of ArangoDB 3.2 two storage engines are supported. The "traditional"
|
||||||
|
engine is called `MMFiles`, which is also the default storage engine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An alternative engine based on [RocksDB](http://rocksdb.org) is also provided and
|
||||||
|
can be turned on manually.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One storage engine type is supported per server per installation.
|
||||||
|
Live switching of storage engines on already installed systems isn't supported.
|
||||||
|
Configuring the wrong engine (not matching the previously used one) will result
|
||||||
|
in the server refusing to start. You may however use `auto` to let ArangoDB choose
|
||||||
|
the previously used one.
