thrift-dbm - a thrift rpc server in python for key/value databases

Peter Hoffmann http://peter-hoffmann.com/code/thrift-dbm/

thrift-dbm is a thrift rpc server for key/value databases. It is still alpha software and a toy-project to explore thrift. The server is written in Python and uses gdbm, the GNU implementation of the standard Unix dbm library.

The Python client library provides raw access to the rpc connection as well as a dict like access.

Requirements

• Apache Thrift <http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/>
• Python <http://python.org>

Building and running

make
python runserver.py

Then start a python shell:

import thrift_dbm
db = thrift_dbm.ThriftDbm("test.db")
db['foo'] = 'bar'
'bar' in db
print db['foo']

More Information

The software was inspired by Phillip Pearsons simple-thrift-queue.

The project ist hosted on Github: github.com/hoffmann/thrift-dbm.
