How to I process one million hits a minute?
smoody: Have you checked out memcachedb? It's a wrapper around the berkleydb that uses the memcahed protocol (so support is already available in your language of choice). They're showing benchmark stats that meet your requirements (> 1MM writes per minute on a single box, obviously more boxes = more writes): http://memcachedb.org/benchmark.htmlIt's simply key-value pair storage but it sounds like that might be all you need.
