==== Description: ====
ikil database will be written in GNU Guile. It has the best of the popular
databases:
- It will be schema free like document databases (mongodb, rethinkdb,
couchdb). the main interest of this feature, is the ability to alter the
schema - on the fly - without running a particular command or moving the
database offline.
- Unlike document databases, it has cross documents (global) transactions.
- Documents are "json-like", fields value can be numbers, strings or list of
strings or numbers or lists.
- It will be possible to link documents together like in relational databases,
except links are not constrainted by a schema.
- Unlike document databases, links are part of the transaction semantic, so no
broken database.
- Actually, ikil database is the result of a reflexion regarding graph
databases. The differences with graphdbs is that there is no "edge"
*documents*. To the contrary to the dominant marketing, having to deal with
two kind of documents is a burden, and refying edges documents too. Instead
they are lean directed links tuples (document-a, field, document-b).
- There is no supernode issue in ikil database [0]
[0] http://thinkaurelius.com/2012/10/25/a-solution-to-the-supernode-problem/
- Unlike OO databases links can be queried both ways.
- It will be written in GNU Guile using Guile Wiredtiger (submitted
previously).
- Indexing for integer and string fields will be possible.
- It has strong ACID capabilities thanks to wiredtiger.
Last but not least, querying is done in GNU Guile.
==== Other Software Required: ====
GNU Guile GPLv3
Guile WiredTiger - https://github.com/a-guile-mind/guile-wiredtiger (submitted
to nongnu.org too)
wiredtiger - gplv2 or gplv3 -
https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger/blob/master/LICENSE
==== Other Comments: ====
This is the working draft, there is still no code...
Querying API:
(document-create alist) -> integer or #f
(document-update identifier alist) -> boolean
(document-lookup field value) -> integer stream
(link-create identifier label other) -> boolean
(link-lookup identifier #:optional label) -> integer stream
(link-lookup-incoming identifier #:optional label) -> integer stream
CLI options:
--host default: 127.0.0.1
--port default: 8976
--home default: current directory
--workers default: 2
--version Show version.
