RocheDB v0.5.1
RocheDB v0.5.1
RocheDB v0.5.1 is a documentation-focused patch release for the v0.5.x
technical preview.
Release:
https://github.com/puffball1567/rochedb/releases/tag/v0.5.1
Main Changes
- Added
docs/technical-faq.md. - Linked the Technical FAQ from
README.md. - Linked the Technical FAQ from the documentation index.
Why This Patch Exists
RocheDB has enough unusual terminology that first-time reviewers need a direct
technical entry point. The new FAQ answers the questions most likely to come
from database engineers:
- Is a ring just partitioning?
- Is stellar locality a join?
- Is this a secondary index?
- Is the orbital model just consistent hashing?
- Where do the benchmark improvements come from?
- How are records grouped on disk?
- What happens when write patterns are messy?
- Is RocheDB production-ready?
The answers are intentionally conservative. They explain RocheDB's current
strengths, but also document boundaries around production readiness, dynamic
membership, broad secondary-index planning, and real-workload validation.

Known Boundaries
The v0.5.0 implementation boundaries remain unchanged:
- dynamic cluster membership with minimal remapping is still planned;
- longer mixed-version protocol compatibility is still planned;
- deeper failure-injection tests are still planned;
- broader driver parity is still in progress.
