An Erlang implementation of on-disk sorted sets. The details of the format are undocumented but incredibly important - I've tried to build a similar API before while keeping the data files sorted on disk. The cascading writes that were necessary to keep the file ordered killed it. Now I need to learn Erlang.

Anti-RDBMS: A list of distributed key-value stores | Richard Jones, Esq.

Good survey of the key-value storage landscape as of January 2009. Probably wrong by now. His findings mirror my own - memcachedb and perhaps Tokyo Tyrant look the best. Eventual consistency is the big open question for every use case except OpenDNS Stats.
