What a busy week – between O’Reilly and Collaborate we gave a number of talks, sponsored a booth, and took some long flights in between the shows. But what an interesting week. The MySQL conference is a great time to catch up with customers and, as always, we heard some excellent feedback on a variety […]

Keeping from Getting Buried in Big Data Boy, what a way to go into spring. We are expecting up to 1/2″ of rain (or perhaps sleet) today. This follows the 3″ of snow we had on Friday (Shaq — watch out we long ago got Nate – you are next). Here is the picture from […]
Running with Big Data It’s spring here in Boston, though one could hardly tell (still barely hitting 40°F). So, for those stuck indoors working out on the treadmill, or those lucky enough to do a workout outdoors, we’ve got a great podcast. Our Chief Scientist and co-founder Martín Farach-Colton had the privilege of sitting down […]
Big Data + Big Ideas = Big Advantage “Big Data” is the new buzzword in IT. Doing a Google search will yield over 1M hits. In Boston, there were two back-to-back Big Data events last month. On Wednesday in New York, there was another Big Data event. Of course, everyone has an opinion on Big […]

The Big Data Opportunity “What if you could analyze every transaction, capture insights from every customer interaction, and didn’t have to wait for months to get data from the field?”- McKinsey Column, Financial Times Despite this tremendous opportunity, MySQL implementations are usually kept relatively small, often on the order of 500 GB or less. Anything […]
TokuDB v5 Overview
As Huey Lewis once noted, sometimes it’s “Hip To Be Square.” Apparently, occasionally, someone even pays attention to you when you are. Xconomy just featured “10 Boring Boston-Area Tech Companies That Are Actually Interesting” and we made the cut. As they note it is a “short list of the Boston area’s most boring-sounding tech companies […]
John Partridge, President and CEO of Tokutek, sits down to talk about MySQL performance and scalability with the Wikibon Project’s Dave Vellante at last week’s MassTLC Big Data Summit. http://siliconangle.tv/video/tokutek-ceo-discusses-big-data-and-scaling-mysql
This was an interesting week for data discussions in the Boston area. There were two back-to-back events this week — Big Data on Wednesday night hosted by TiE Boston and Channeling the Big Data Tsunami by MassTLC on Thursday morning. With desperate sounding headlines, I was beginning to fear that big data was going to […]

Links to the FAQ Sections can be found here: General Information Open Source Technical Details Best Practices and Tools General Information ANY CHARACTER HERE 1. What is TokuDB? TokuDB is an ACID compliant storage engine for MySQL that is specifically designed for high performance on write-intensive workloads. It achieves this via Fractal Tree® indexing. This approach […]
Often, the first step in evaluating and deploying a database is to load an existing dataset into the database. In the latest version, TokuDB makes use of multi-core parallelism to speed up loading (and new index creation). Using the loader, MySQL tables using TokuDB load 5x-8x faster than with previous versions of TokuDB. Measuring Load […]
In a follow-up experiment to an earlier post on TokuDB recovery times, I tried to create a better apples-to-apples comparison to InnoDB recovery time. If I measure recovery times when both DBs are doing the same amount of work, TokuDB requires only 2s to recover from a crash, compared to 1020s for InnoDB. Background In […]
Last week Tokutek released version 3.0.0 of TokuDB, adding ACID transactions to its list of features. This post discusses an experiment we ran to measure recovery time following a system crash. In summary, while actively inserting records into a MySQL database using iiBench, we compared the time to recover from a power-cord pull for both […]
At Tokutek, Rich Prohaska used Gearman to automate our nightly build and test process for TokuDB for MySQL. Rich is busy working on TokuDB, so I’m writing up an overview of the build and test architecture on his behalf. Build and Test Process Rich created a script, nightly.bash, that gets kicked off every night as […]
