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 opening those will fail with "invalid metadata" error. BTW, I stand corrected in the original bug report: on big-endian machines database format is correct. --
