Berkeley DB Shortcomings
Berkeley DB just doesn't deal well with processes and threads dropping without cleaning up nicely. In a heterogeneous/complex environment, good database systems need to respond very well to dropped connections. Perhaps there's a way to coax BDB into timing out locks more quickly or allocating more locks, but I couldn't get it to work. TDB was able to handle a very high load (thousands of reads/writes per second) while also having 1 in 100 connections get dropped or killed without being gracefully closed. Perhaps it's just a matter of TDB having better defaults for that sort of scenario. [View/Post Comments] [Digg] [Del.icio.us] [Stumble] |
