Fast insertion – what Tokutek excels at – isn’t only important for handling high data rates. It also enables a new way to extract value from an existing database called ad hoc indexing. KAYAK has a billion rows stored in TokuDB and adding an index for a traditional MySQL storage engine would take too long [...]

In a follow-up experiment to an earlier post on TokuDB recovery times, I tried to create a better apples-to-apples comparison to InnoDB recovery time. If I measure recovery times when both DBs are doing the same amount of work, TokuDB requires only 2s to recover from a crash, compared to 1020s for InnoDB. Background In [...]
We recently made transactions in TokuDB 3.0 durable. We write table changes into a log file so that in the event of a crash, the table changes up to the last checkpoint can be replayed. Durability requires the log file to be fsync’ed when a transaction is committed. Unfortunately, fsync’s are not free, and may [...]
Last week Tokutek released version 3.0.0 of TokuDB, adding ACID transactions to its list of features. This post discusses an experiment we ran to measure recovery time following a system crash. In summary, while actively inserting records into a MySQL database using iiBench, we compared the time to recover from a power-cord pull for both [...]
