Redis and Computer Chess

Post by jshriver »

Has anyone interested in very large datasets also looked into redis for storing data?

I've been tinking for years working on my own database format for large (multi-TB datasets).

Honestly I'm trying to migrate to this. Looks very promising!

Anyone else used it? Curious of thoughts.

Not clear what your application is. I have looked a little bit at leveldb (https://github.com/google/leveldb), which is an embeddable key/value store. I believe Redis is an in-memory store, so probably not suitable for multi-terabytes.
