I’m looking at solutions to store a massive quantity of information consuming the less possible disk space.
The information structure is very simple and the queries will also be very simple.
I’ve looked at solutions like Apache Cassandra and relations databases but couldn’t find a comparison where disk usage is mentioned.
Any ideas on this would be great.
Take a look at Oracle Berkeley DB – very simple robust database (key/value):
“Berkeley DB enables the development of custom data management solutions, without the overhead traditionally associated with such custom projects. Berkeley DB provides a collection of well-proven building-block technologies that can be configured to address any application need from the handheld device to the datacenter, from a local storage solution to a world-wide distributed one, from kilobytes to petabytes.”
