Alternatives
HestiaStore is one of many available solutions for key-value storage. When selecting the right tool, it's important to consider which one best fits your needs. Here are some key evaluation criteria:
- 🔁 Transactional Support
- 🧪 ACID Compliance
- ☁️ Cloud Availability
- ⚡ Performance
- 🛠️ Error Handling
- 📚 API Completeness ...
Below are a few notable alternatives (not an exhaustive list):
🗺️ MapDB
MapDB focuses on replacing java.util.Map with a disk-backed map structure. While powerful, its recent versions have limited disk persistence support and performance may be slower for some use cases.
🗃️ H2 MVStore
MVStore is the underlying storage engine for the H2 database. It features a friendly API, support for transactions, and generally good performance. It is well-suited for embedded systems and relational data scenarios.
📘 Chronicle Map
Chronicle Map offers low-latency, off-heap key-value storage with support for huge datasets. It is especially suitable for high-performance and low-GC scenarios. Disk persistence is supported, though the primary target is memory-mapped data sharing.
🪨 RocksDB
RocksDB is a mature, high-performance embedded key-value store developed by Facebook. While it is written in C++, a Java binding is available. It supports compression, compaction, snapshots, and many tuning options.
🐘 BabuDB
BabuDB is a log-structured, non-relational key-value store optimized for write performance and reliability. It's less widely used today but offers interesting architectural choices like write-ahead logging and on-disk persistence.
