From the webpage:
A zero configuration, non-distributed NoSQL key-value store that runs in any Servlet 3.0 compatible container.
Sometimes you just need fast NoSQL storage, but don’t need full redundancy and scalability (that’s right, localhost will do just fine). With Havalo, simply drop
havalo.warinto your favorite Servlet 3.0 compatible container and with almost no configuration you’ll have access to a fast and lightweight K,V store backed by any local mount point for persistent storage. And, Havalo has a pleasantly simple RESTful API for your added enjoyment.Havalo is perfect for testing, maintaining fast indexes of data stored “elsewhere”, and almost any other deployment scenario where relational databases are just too heavy.
The latest stable version of Havalo is 1.4.
Interesting move toward the shallow end of the data pool for NoSQL.
I don’t know of any reason why small data could not benefit from NoSQL flexibility.
Lowering the overhead of NoSQL for small data may introduce more people to NoSQL earlier in their data careers.
Which means when they move up the ladder to “big data,” they won’t be easily impressed.
Are there other “small data” friendly NoSQL solutions you would recommend?
