New TokuDB v5.2
TokuDB® v5.2 is a drop-in replacement for InnoDB that scales MySQL® from GBs to TBs while improving insert speed, query performance, compression, and online schema flexibility. Uses standard SQL and supports ACID and MVCC.
With the release of TokuDB v5.0 last March, we delivered a powerful and agile storage engine that broke through traditional MySQL scalability and performance barriers. As deployments of TokuDB have grown more varied, one request we have repeatedly heard…
