As your products and services are targeted towards bigger clients, do you have any advice for smaller companies on who to talk to regarding pricing?

Any hints on where to start?

First of all, thanks for open sourcing lmdb :)

The biggest problem currently is actually degrading performance, although I'm almost 100% sure that this isn't caused by lmdb itself, but rather by the bindings I've tried.

In the end, doing it directly in C is probably the only thing that will actually work.

Actually I'm also using lmdb (together with Python/numpy) :) Added an email address to my profile, would be happy to exchange some experiences.

I've been trying for weeks now to get a system running that can handle larger than RAM datasets and returns queries in an acceptable time. It's running ok now but far from optimal (size of DB is ~100 GB and it contains a few hundred million entries).

Does anyone here have experience with any implementations (such as likelike, lshkit, etc.) and can recommend something that can handle larger sets? All the implementations I have found were either not maintained, old, not running or not suitable for production use.

Will definitely take a look at the paper but unfortunately it's always a very long way from here to an actual implementation (there is no code published as far as I could see).

I think you are on the right track there.

The thing is though, you won't have difficulties finding papers on those topics. However, you will probably not have any luck finding many concrete and practical implementations that you could look at.

So it's a far way from reading the papers to having something working.

If you find something, please let me know.
