The only downside to CDB is that you cannot update a CDB file. You need to generate a new one from scratch. Still, even that is quick enough that we use it. One of my colleagues benchmarked CDB versus Berkeley DB and the difference was dramatic: http://www.dmo.ca/blog/benchmarking-hash-databases-on-large-data/ CDB was about 6-7 times as fast on random reads as Berkeley DB.
