It is composed of the server process managing a database and its access +library for client applications. The server can embed Lua, a lightweight script +language so that you can define arbitrary operations of the database. + +The server features high concurrency due to thread-pool modeled implementation +and the epoll/kqueue mechanism of the modern Linux/*BSD kernel. The server and +its clients communicate with each other by simple binary protocol on TCP/IP. +Protocols compatible with memcached and HTTP/1.1 are also supported so that +almost all principal platforms and programming languages can use Tokyo Tyrant. +High availability and high integrity are also featured due to such mechanisms as +hot backup, update logging, and replication. |
