Comment on ElephantDB: A database specialized in exporting KV data from Hadoopparent

> So why would I use ElephantDB instead of Voldemort read-only storage?

Incremental updates is the current feature Voldemort lacks. If that's a must for you, use that. We are hoping to that feature at one point, but it required changes to the index format (which are a recent feature).

That said, a complete push of data into Voldemort is quick: the whole process is network bound (data is read sequentially from HDFS and written sequentially to Voldemort).
