Folks, I wanted to put two things into the thought stream of the community, and gauge everyone's interest.
First, I have been working on a Lisp (CFFI) interface to Kyoto Cabinet (http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/) as an alternative to Berkeley DB. I am wondering if there is any interest in me or someone else integrating this interface as an Elephant back end. The code is here: http://github.com/kraison/cl-kyoto-cabinet and here: http://github.com/kraison/kyoto-persistence The code is young, and there are plenty of issues that still need working out. Second, I have also been working on a graph database / RDF store (http://github.com/kraison/vivace-graph) that is mean to to (eventually) compete with Franz's AllegroGraph. I originally started the Kyoto Cabinet code to support this graph db, but have found the performance lacking for my purposes. I would really like to leverage Elephant and / or a pure Lisp b-tree implementation to speed things up. To that end, I am wondering if anyone can speak to the state of the native Lisp back end for Elephant. I noticed that Ian has some code in his contrib directory, but it looks unfinished. If I can get some guidance and the permission of the group, I would like to work on bringing this code to maturity. Thanks for Elephant; it has made many of my Lisp projects possible!
