In my opinion, one missing component of the maggma stores is a persistent on disk store that can be accessed simultaneously from multiple python processes. Think an almost fully formed MongoDB instance but hosted locally on the file system. I think this is what #507 is hinting towards.
In this PR I've implemented a store based on the MontyDB backend. This provides a MongoDB interface to several on disk stores including:
pip install lmdb
).The data is stored in a folder on disk controlled by the
database_path
option. Multiple databases and collections are stored as different files.I've added full tests and MontyDB as an optional requirement. @davidwaroquiers you may be interested in this.
