Ask HN: Why are there no open source NVMe-native key value stores in 2023?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads

  1. KVRocks

    RocksDB compatible key value store and MyRocks compatible storage engine designed for KV SSD (by OpenMPDK)

  3. ScaleStore

    This is the source code for our (Tobias Ziegler, Carsten Binnig and Viktor Leis) published paper at SIGMOD’22: ScaleStore: A Fast and Cost-Efficient Storage Engine using DRAM, NVMe, and RDMA.

    I don't remember exactly why I have any of them saved, but these are some experimental data stores that seems to be fitting what you're looking for somewhat:

    - https://github.com/DataManagementLab/ScaleStore - "A Fast and Cost-Efficient Storage Engine using DRAM, NVMe, and RDMA"

    - https://github.com/unum-cloud/udisk - "The fastest ACID-transactional persisted Key-Value store designed for NVMe block-devices with GPU-acceleration and SPDK to bypass the Linux kernel."

    - https://github.com/capsuleman/ssd-nvme-database - "Columnar database on SSD NVMe"

  4. udisk

    The fastest ACID-transactional persisted Key-Value store designed as modified LSM-Tree for NVMe block-devices with GPU-acceleration and SPDK to bypass the Linux kernel

  5. ssd-nvme-database

    Columnar database on SSD NVMe

  6. solid_cache

    A database-backed ActiveSupport::Cache::Store

    Is that discussion/implementation of nvme available somewhere in public?

    https://github.com/rails/solid_cache didn't include anything about NVME that I could find.

  7. kvrocks

    Apache Kvrocks is a distributed key value NoSQL database that uses RocksDB as storage engine and is compatible with Redis protocol.

    There’s Kvrocks. It uses the Redis protocol and it’s built on RocksDB https://github.com/apache/kvrocks

  8. xnvme

    Portable and high-performance libraries and tools for NVMe devices as well as support for traditional/legacy storage devices/interfaces.

  10. KVSSD

    KV SSD host software including APIs and drivers

  11. documentation

    A datastore aiming at linear scalability up to the yottabyte range. Inspired by dynamo and cassandra. (by yottaStore)

  12. uNVMe

    KV and LBA SSD userspace NVMe driver

    https://github.com/OpenMPDK/uNVMe/blob/master/doc/uNVMe2.0_S...

    I can't find detailed spec sheets detailing which NVMe command sets are supported even for their enterprise drives.

  13. Aerospike

    Aerospike Database Server – flash-optimized, in-memory, nosql database
