Flare is a distributed, and persistent key-value storage compatible with memcached, with several additional features (as follows):

  • persistent storage (you can use flare as persistent memcached)
  • pluggable storage
  • Tokyo Cabinet
  • Kyoto Cabinet (experimental)
  • data replication (synchronous or asynchronous)
  • data partitioning (automatically partitioned according to the number of master servers (transparent for clients)
  • dynamic reconstruction, and partitioning (you can dynamically (I mean, without any service interruption) add slave servers and partition master servers)
  • node monitoring and failover (if any server is down, the server is automatically isolated from active servers and another slave server is promoted to master server)
  • request proxy (you can always get same result regardless of servers you connect to, so you can think of a flare cluster as one big key-value storage)
  • over 256 bytes keys, and over 1M bytes values are available

Flare is free software base on GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.
