Tagging this wontfix / help-needed, as currently I have no feasible way to
resolve this, but to heavily patch tokyocabinet.
Of course, I'm open to other approaches which we might have missed...
Well...
I'm still waiting for the answer from upstream, but if you are right
(and I fear you are) changing the behaviour would break other
applications, and I do not believe that this would be wise.
Moreless we would need an migration path, like patching tokyocabinet to
automatically detect

Hi.
I would revert to upstream's default and use native endianness.
Having a endian-neutral databases is be nice, but given it is not a
upstream's goal anyway, I'd stick to upstream and avoid introducing
incompatibilities.

Updaea after some research on this topic. In particular I was puzzled if the
change on the endianess breaks exsitings database files, but this seems not the
case, as http:/fallabs.com/tokyocabinet/spex-en.html tells

Hi.
Upstream Tokyo Cabinet uses little-endian data in databases and hence
the databases are portable.
After disabling the switch database format will not change for
big-endian machines, but *will* for little-endian ones, so existing
databases on little-endian machines will become unreadable and

Hallo Mikhail,
thanks for reporting this issue. Always enable swab of course seems not not make
sense, however I cannot tell the reasons of the then-maintainer.
Basically we have three options here:
1) Go for little-endian for all archs
2) Go

Version: 1.4.47-1
Severity: important
TokyoCabinet under Debian unconditionally uses --enable-swab option, which has
the following two effects:
- It forces tcucodec conf to say that the machine is big-endian (wrong).
- It enforces the *non-native* data endianness in DB
