[ANN] Khepri 0.2.1 - A tree-like replicated on-disk database library

[Frank Muller]

Hi Jean-Sébastien,

Very well done!!!

Anything that can save me (+my team) from Mnesia is always welcome.

Do you provide (throughput / latency) benchmarks?

> Khepri is a tree-like replicated on-disk database library for Erlang and
> Elixir. This is a library we plan to use inside RabbitMQ as a
> replacement for Mnesia. Indeed, we want to leverage Ra[1], our
> implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm, to have a uniform
> behavior, especially w.r.t. network partitions, across all types of data
> managed by RabbitMQ.

> The release notes of 0.2.0 [2] describe the highlights of Khepri 0.2.x
> in detail, but I would like to quickly talk about the biggest one:
> triggers and stored procedures!
>
> Triggers are a mechanism to execute an anonymous function automatically
> following some events.
>
> Currently supported events are changes made to the tree: nodes were
> created, updated or deleted. In the future, it could support Erlang
> process monitoring, node monitoring, and so on. Triggers are registered
> using an event filter which, as its name suggests, takes care of
> filtering the event which should execute the associated function.
>
> The anonymous function behind a trigger is stored in the database as the
> payload of tree node. This function is called a stored procedure. Before
> it is stored, the function is extracted like transaction functions are.
> However, there are no restrictions on what it can do, unlike transaction
> functions.

> If you have any comments and feedback, or if you started to play with
> the library in one of your projects, please share! I’m looking forward
> to listen to your experience!

> Thank you very much!
