AvocadoDB

My colleagues and I started developing a document-store, which focuses on durability of the data taking advantage of new technologies like SSD, support for graph and geo algorithms needed in social networks, ease of use for the developer and minimal effort to operate for the administrator.

Compilation

1. Install Dependencies: V8, boost, libev
2. autoconf
3. ./configure --with-boost=PATH_TO_BOOST --with-libev=PATH_TO_LIBEV --with-v8=PATH_TO_V8
4. make
5. create a directory /var/lib/avocado where you are allowed to read and write
6. "./avocdb" to start a REST server or "./avocdb --shell" for debugging

Mac OS X Hints

If you install AvocadoDB on Mac OS X we collected some hints for you:

• The version of bison delivered with OS X is out of date. Update it before installing.
• Due to the oddities of the boost library, at least the homebrew version requires some modification: In /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.48.0/lib sym-link the regex, system and programm-option libraries to a name without -mt

First Steps

./avocdb --shell
avocado> db.examples.count();
avocado> db.examples.save({ Hallo: "World" });
avocado> db.examples.select();
