Graph-based distributed data manager, project no longer maintained since 2012
FlockDB was anopen-source distributed,fault-tolerantgraph database for managing wide but shallow network graphs.[3] It was initially used byTwitter to store relationships between users, e.g. followings and favorites. FlockDB differs from other graph databases, e.g.Neo4j in that it was not designed for multi-hop graph traversal but rather for rapid set operations, not unlike the primary use-case forRedis sets.[4] FlockDB was posted onGitHub shortly after Twitter released itsGizzard framework, which it used toquery the FlockDB distributeddatastore. The database is licensed under theApache License.[1]
Twitter no longer supports FlockDB.[5]
