It +seeks to emulate the TokyoTyrant HTTP interface, but allows access to +multiple databases through a single TCP port. It hashes keys to split +keys between different on-disk databases to work around scalability +limitations of the kernel, hardware and filesystem. + +== Features + +* Currently supports the TokyoCabinet hash database format, other + database formats will be supported along with KyotoCabinet, as + well as other key-value stores. + +* Compatible with all Rack-compatible servers + +== Hacking + +You can get the latest source via git from the following locations: + + git://git.bogomips.org/metropolis.git + git://repo.or.cz/metropolis.git (mirror) + +You may browse the code from the web and download the latest snapshot +tarballs here: + +* http://git.bogomips.org/cgit/metropolis.git (cgit) +* http://repo.or.cz/w/metropolis.git (gitweb) + +Inline patches (from "git format-patch") to the mailing list are +preferred because they allow code review and comments in the reply to +the patch. + +We will adhere to mostly the same conventions for patch submissions as +git itself. See the Documentation/SubmittingPatches document +distributed with git on on patch submission guidelines to follow. Just +don't email the git mailing list or maintainer with \Metropolis patches. + +== Contact + +All feedback (bug reports, user/development discussion, patches, pull +requests) go to the mailing list: mailto:metropolis@librelist.org + +Mailing list archives in mbox format may be downloaded here: + +http://metropolis.bogomips.org/archives/ |
