Hibari is a strongly consistent, highly available, distributed, key-value big data store.[1] It was developed by Gemini Mobile Technologies to support its mobile messaging and email services and released as open source on July 27, 2010.[2]
Hibari, a Japanese name meaning "Cloud Bird", can be used in cloud computing with services—such as social networking—requiring the daily storage of potentially terabytes or petabytes of new data.[2]
Hibari supports APIs such as Amazon S3, JSON-RPC and Universal Binary Protocol; plans have been announced for support of Apache Thrift, Avro and Protocol Buffers; in addition to Erlang, the language it was developed in, Hibari supports language bindings such as Java, C, C++, Python, and Ruby.[2]
