What is Voldemort?

Voldemort is not designed to operate as a relational database; it does not seek to maintain arbitrary relationships or comply with ACID principles. It also lacks the functionality of an object database that aims for a seamless mapping of object referencing. Moreover, it does not provide a new layer of abstraction like document orientation. Instead, it functions as a large, distributed, durable, and fault-tolerant hash table. For those employing an Object-Relational (O/R) mapper such as ActiveRecord or Hibernate, this setup can enhance horizontal scalability and availability significantly, though it comes with a notable loss of convenience. When dealing with large-scale applications that require internet-level scalability, systems often consist of multiple services or APIs that are functionally segmented, managing storage across diverse data centers, each with its own horizontally partitioned storage solutions. In such environments, executing arbitrary joins within the database can become unfeasible since not all data resides in a single database instance, which complicates data management further. Consequently, developers must shift their approaches to effectively cope with these limitations, necessitating a careful reevaluation of their data handling practices. This adjustment is crucial to ensure that the system remains efficient and responsive to the diverse needs of the applications it supports.
