Look at couch db for example. In addition to that, I really don't think that we will reach the 16 TB limit so quickly. If you do, run another instance. http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment7http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment7Wed, 11 Mar 2009 03:15:59 GMTESENT has a 16TB size limit. I you were storing scanned documents that averaged 1mb you could only store 16 million documents in a single ESENT db. Not a horrific limitation but one worth noting now. http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment6http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment6Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:30:10 GMTEsent doesn't run on Linux But I am not going to worry about that until there is a contributer that is actually going to make it run there. http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment5http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment5Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:44:28 GMTAny Esent support on Linux? if not maybe its best to separate the datastore part so that you can create a backend database/store implementation and the main system doesn't really know about the datastore. Or will this just make the system too slow. http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment4http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment4Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:20:50 GMTok. my bad. didn't read your couch db posts. this makes more sense after reading about couch db. now i'm really curious how it works. how it finds the document you're looking for. i'll have to read more about couch db. http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment3http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment3Tue, 10 Mar 2009 04:09:54 GMTJosh, document database are not e-doc apps, nothing like share point. Take a look at lucene or couch db for the details http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment2http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment2Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:38:58 GMTI'm really curious where you re going with this. one old client had us help write an electronic doc application, which had to address some similar questions. With the previous mention of schema-less database, it seems you're going in a really different direction with this. not sure I understand what you mean by view for this. could you clarify? http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment1http://ayende.com/3898/designing-a-document-database-storage#comment1Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:23:28 GMT
