Dependencies

Local Index Directory dependencies

Local Index Directory depends on a backend database to store various indices. Currently we support two implementations - YugabyteDB or LevelDB - depending on the size of deal data and indices a storage provider holds.

LevelDB is an open source on-disk key-value store, and can be used when indices fit on a single host.

YugabyteDB is an open source modern distributed database designed to run in any public, private, hybrid or multi-cloud environment.

Storage providers who hold more than 1PiB data are encouraged to use YugabyteDB as it is horizontally scalable, provides better monitoring and management utilities and could support future growth.
