cockroach - A Scalable, Geo-Replicated, Transactional Datastore
Overview
Cockroach is a distributed key:value datastore which supports ACID transactional semantics and versioned values as first-class features. The primary design goal is global consistency and survivability, hence the name. Cockroach aims to tolerate disk, machine, rack, and even datacenter failures with minimal latency disruption and no manual intervention. Cockroach nodes are symmetric; a design goal is homogenous deployment (one binary) with minimal configuration.
As expected, an open source project inspired by Google's article about Spanner is born. To be monitored.
Nice project name BTW !
