Clojure is not a great choice for this. It's oriented as a programming language, not a database. It doesn't have any built-in persistence mechanisms, and while it has many virtues, it's a little bit of a memory hog. That isn't really what you want in an in-memory DB.
For anything more than a toy app where you don't want to do the work, I think you'll be much more pleased with the results if you hook up a real DB or NoSQL solution. - Luke On May 25, 2:08 pm, Fabio Kaminski <fabiokamin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, > > i would like advice, > cause since im starting something that will be eventually big data > intensive, from scratch > and i really like the options already built in in clojure like STM, > parallelizing data and concurrency logic implemented on it > i think its wonderfully tuned to use as database... and you can achieve > different strategies, like graphs or balanced trees for different data > > my worries are about the efficiency in serializing it and recovering from/to > the disk, > java VM as a hungry heap VM, > (and with immutable strategies, more heap needed) > > the benefits are control of sharding mechanism's and parallelizing not only > in the unit's cores but between nodes of a cluster.. > > anyone using clojure not just as database middleware(wich is perfect for) > but as database backend too? > > Thanks all, > > Fabio Kaminski > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your > first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group > athttp://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
