Hi there! I'm a YC alum (reMail W09) and helped Jeff and Sanjay with LevelDB. Let me know if you have any questions about LevelDB and I'll see if I can help.

I would really like to use this from my Android Java application. Is this possible, and what would be the best way to accomplish this?
How does this compare to other persistent key-value stores such as Membase?
Membase is a clustered data storage service your application uses.

LevelDB is a persistence library.

That makes LevelDB the kind of thing you plug into membase to get the unique properties it has to offer (or at least for fun).

In fact, the Riak guys are planning on doing exactly that: offering LevelDB as one of the storage back-ends, perhaps even the default.

Any comparisons of performance or functionality against BerkeleyDB?
Does this system have transactions and ACID guarantees?
