Which key/value store is the most promising/stable?

Question

I\'m looking to start using a key/value store for some side projects (mostly as a learning experience), but so many have popped up in the recent past that I\'ve got no idea

Answer 1

I only have experience with Berkeley DB, so I'll mention what I like about it.

• It is fast
• It is very mature and stable
• It has outstanding documentation
• It has C,C++,Java & C# bindings out of the box. Other language bindings are available. I believe Python comes with bindings as part of its "batteries".

The only downside I've run into is that the C# bindings are new and don't seem to support every feature.
