Nice to see WiredTiger getting some love. LevelDB gets all the credit these days (and LMDB to a [much] lesser extent).

What is WiredTiger? I checked the github, but couldn't find any high level information other than it uses a LSM much like LevelDB. What advantages/tradeoffs have they made in WiredTiger vs. LevelDB?

TFA links to http://www.wiredtiger.com/ which have some bold claims and jolly graphs -- and a link to: https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger

I hadn't heard of wiredtiger either. Looks interesting. Anyone know how it compares to LMDB[1]? Both in terms of features and maturity? Apparently made by the people that gave the world the Sleepycat Berkley DB.

It's an embedded ordered key value store, like LevelDB. It's actually configurable to either LSM or BTree. Everything I read says it's much faster than LevelDB, but I never tested it myself.
