Recently, the paper "ForestDB: A Fast Key-Value Storage System for Variable-Length String Keys" was accepted for publication in the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Computers, marking a significant achievement for Jung-Sang Ahn, Chiyoung Seo, and their team after over two years of dedicated work. ForestDB, which is being integrated into Couchbase Server and Couchbase Mobile, promises to enhance read and write performance while paving the way for new capabilities. Committed to open source, the team has made ForestDB available on GitHub, along with a benchmarking tool. A detailed guide is provided to help users install and benchmark ForestDB on CentOS, emphasizing the need for g++ 4.7 or higher and detailing the installation and benchmarking process, while also noting that benchmark results can vary depending on the hardware used.
