Apache Mavibot is a Java implementation of a MVCC (Multiversion Concurrency Control) based B-tree system. It aims at replacing the previously used JDBM library, which was proven to be brittle.
This idea was discussed back in 2007, but was not implemented until 2013. The very first version was a good enough replacement for JDBM back then, it doubled the server’s performance, but lack of transaction was a real problem.
This new version brings transactions across B-trees, allowing a totally consistent database, with increased performances. It also allows bulk-load, which boost the initial load of data into a LDAP server.
Apache Mavibot is going to be the default backend for Apache DS in the future.
