Extending Arangodb\Document

The next thing we want to improve are all those noisy set calls in the controller:

// src/Triagens/ArangodbBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php if ($form->isValid()) { $movie = new ArangoDocument(); $movie->set("title",$form->get("title")->getData()); $movie->set("released",$form->get("released")->getData());..

Dear API Implementors,

Apart from introducing several new features, the upcoming 1.2 version of ArangoDB will change a few of the existing REST API return values.The API changes were necessary to make the ArangoDB’s APIs easier to use, more robust and portable.

We hope that the following list provides 3rd party client & driver maintainers with enough information to update drivers to work with ArangoDB 1.2.

@moonbeamlabs and I hold a workshop about ArangoDB and the Ruby driver Ashikawa, which will hopefully become one of the first DataMapper 2 NoSQL drivers. Currently, we are using the aequitas and virtus components of DataMapper 2.

Slides of the workshop can be found on slideshare:

Clients normally send individual operations to ArangoDB in individual HTTP requests. This is straightforward and simple, but has the disadvantage that the network overhead can be significant if many small requests are issued in a row.

ArangoDB 1.1 will come with a new API for batch requests. This batch request API allows clients to send multiple requests to the ArangoDB server inside one multipart HTTP request. The server will then decompose the multipart request into the individual parts and process them as if they were sent individually. The communication layer can sustain up-to 800.000 requests/second – but absolute numbers strongly depend on the number of cores, the type of the requests, network connections and other factors. More important are the relative numbers: Depending on your use-case you can reduce..

Note: Our new official nodejs driver is arangojs. You also can look at this blogpost about the new driver.

We got a note from Anders Elo from Sweden. He told us that he has released a ArangoDB client for node.js. Awesome! 🙂 You can find it on Github under the URL https://github.com/kaerus/arango-client. To install locally

Note: We changed the name of the database in May 2012. AvocadoDB is now called ArangoDB.

Are you a Python expert and want to contribute to an open source project? We need your help writing an API for Python for a new nosql database!

AvocadoDB is a rather new open source project – a fancy nosql database with a couple of interesting features:

• Schema-free schemata
• Usable asapplication server
• Consequent use of JavaScript
• multi-threaded
• Flexible data modeling (key value pairs, document store, graph database)
• Free index choice
• Configurable durability
• Support for modern storage hardware like SSD..
