The second of the libraries Factual is open sourcing today is Riffle, which 
is a write-once key/value storage engine.  By disallowing random writes, it 
allows for O(1) on-disk reads, and a read throughput is both faster and 
significantly more stable than LevelDB and other, similar databases.  Of 
course, any changes to the database require merging two existing databases 
or writing another one from scratch, which can be done either in-process or 
using Hadoop.  

A blog post describing the library can be found 
at 
http://blog.factual.com/how-factual-uses-persistent-storage-for-its-real-time-services,
 
and the library itself can be found at https://github.com/factual/riffle. 
 We look forward to see how it's used by others.
