       tarantool_box - open-source NoSQL database

SYNOPSIS

           tarantool_box [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Tarantool is an open-source NoSQL database, developed by Mail.ru.

       Its key properties include:

       •   Licence: simplified BSD

       •   All data is maintained in RAM

       •   Data persistence is implemented using Write Ahead Log and snapshotting

       •   Supports asynchronous replication and hot standby

       •   Uses coroutines and asynchronous I/O to implement high-performance lock-free access to
           data

       •   Available on Linux and FreeBSD

       •   Stored procedures in Lua are supported.

   Data model
       The basic atom of storage in Tarantool is called tuple. A tuple can have arbitrary number
       of fields. The first field in the tuple is always the identifying unique key. Tuples form
       spaces. It is possible to search tuples in spaces using the primary or secondary keys.
       Fields in a tuple are type-agnostic. It is possible to change, as well as add or remove
       fields.
