BabuDB is an embedded non-relational database system. Its lean and simple design allows it to persistently store large amounts of key-value pairs without the overhead and complexity of similar approaches such as BerkeleyDB.

Key features:

  • Support for large-scale databases that exceed the system's main memory
  • Efficient crash recovery
  • Snapshots and asynchronous dumps
  • Prefix and range lookups
  • Transparent replication with tuneable consistency/performance trade-offs
  • BabuDB has been independently implemented for Java and C++ (Win32/Linux). APIs and database formats of both implementations are not compatible.

Much of the simplicity and efficiency of the BabuDB design comes from the use of small mutable overlay-trees (also known as LSM-trees) layered on a larger immutable memory-mapped on-disk index, an architecture that was made popular by Google's BigTable?. BabuDB is used as the database engine in the replicated metadata server of the XtreemFS file system.
