What is Tarantool?
------------------

`Tarantool`_ is a NoSQL database running inside a Lua program. It combines the
network programming power of Node.JS with data persistency capabilities of
Redis. It's open source, `BSD licensed`_.

Features
--------

* Lua packages for non-blocking I/O, fibers and HTTP
* MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol
* Two data engines:
* 100% in-memory with optional persistence
* 2-level disk-based B-tree, to use with large data sets (powered by `Sophia`_)
* secondary key and index iterators support (can be non-unique and composite)
* multiple index types: HASH, BITSET, TREE
* asynchronous master-master replication
* authentication and access control
