Leave it to IBM to come up with a killer database app.
This is one is a "lightweight RDBMS", small-footprint,
memory-resident, fast, easily programmed (simply write
tuples, rather than worrying about schemas and such),
*distributed*, with transaction controls.
It's called TSpaces -- it combines features of TupleSpaces
and RDBMS. It's implemented in Java, with the goal of
enabling distributed application servers.
Both Jack Park and Paul Fernhout pointed to this one
a while back. (Thanks, guys.) I finally started catching
up on some of my reading this afternoon (more evaluations
to follow on other reads).
