ArangoDB
We recently started a new open source project - a nosql database called
AvocadoDB which became ArangoDB in May 2012. The current stable version of
ArangoDB is 1.0. A multi server version is planned for the end of 2012. For
details see the roadmap.
Key features include:
* Schema-free schemata let you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with the
performance power of NoSQL
* Use ArangoDB as an application server and fuse your application and database
together for maximal throughput
* JavaScript for all: no language zoo, you can use one language from your
browser to your back-end
* ArangoDB is multi-threaded - exploit the power of all your cores
* Flexible data modeling: model your data as combination of key-value pairs,
documents or graphs - perfect for social relations
* Free index choice: use the correct index for your problem, be it a skip list
or a n-gram search
* Configurable durability: let the application decide if it needs more
durability or more performance
* No-nonsense storage: ArangoDB uses all of the power of modern storage
hardware, like SSD and large caches
* Powerful query language (AQL) to retrieve data
* It is open source (Apache Licence 2.0)
For more in-depth information
* read more on the design_goals_of_ArangoDB
* watch_the_video - Martin Schoenert, architect of ArangoDB, gives an
introduction of what the ArangoDB project is about.

Compilation
Please check the Installation_Manual for installation and compilation
instructions.
Mac OS X Hints
On Mac OS X you can install ArangoDB using the packagemanager Homebrew:
* brew install arangodb (use --HEAD in order to build ArangoDB from current
master)
This will install ArangoDB and all dependencies. Note that the server will be
installed as
/usr/local/sbin/arangod
The ArangoDB shell will be install as
/usr/local/bin/arangosh
First Steps
Start the server:
> mkdir /tmp/vocbase
> bin/arangod /tmp/vocbase
