redis as an alternative for NBT and LevelDB storage

[toqueteos]

We could get rid of a lot of awkwardness and get great cloudservice support mostly for "free".

Not my idea, it's gurun's from #mcdevs @ freenode

gurun|work: This should be an alternative for NBT and LevelDB storage, right - http://redis.io/

gurun|work: especially if you do a cloudservice.

gurun|work: the biggest differences seems to be that LevelDB is faster, but if transactions, redis is both safer and faster.

gurun|work: basically i read it as redis actually supports real transactions (out of process scenarios), but LevelDB doesn't really do that (hence the speed)

This seems like the sort of thing we should allow mods to implement.

What map format we selected? Anvil? I prefer database storage. Because I think they handle these better we what was handles.

(Out topic, MapReduce? I don't know.)

We will need to support Anvil for vanilla compatibility. Any other storage can be added later, possibly through the mod API.

I don't understand your second comment, sorry.

@fenhl Second comment means distributed things, don't mind :)
