Adding clarifications to that, Pebble is a local K/V library akin to RocksDB/LevelDB and provides no services or distributed capabilities. Comparing the two does not make sense.

On the other hand, TiKV is more comparable to the internal distributed transactional K/V layer to CockroachDB that its SQL layer is coupled to. That of course is not a usable external interface. You could utilize CockroachDB like a K/V store with simple table to forego the SQL functionality and planning (e.g. only primary col index, only key/value column, so on), but I am not sure what the practicality of that is as I have not kept up with CockroachDB development.

(disclaimer: I interned at Cockroach several years back)

The comparison is about providing a relational data model on top of a key/value store.

Yugabyte also does something similar on top of its underlying DocDB document store.
