This is an interesting read originally appeared on O'Reilly Radar. Here Edd Dumbill explains how to Bypass the SQL parser to use MySQL's raw speed.
The trend for NoSQL stores such as memcache for fast key-value storage should give us pause for thought: what have regular database vendors been doing all this time? An important new project, HandlerSocket, seeks to leverage MySQL's raw speed for key-value storage. NoSQL databases offer fast key-value storage for use in backing web applications, but years of work on regular relational databases has hardly ignored performance. The main performance hit with regular databases is in interpreting queries. HandlerSocket is a MySQL server plugin that interfaces directly with the InnoDB storage engine. Yoshinori Matsunobu, one of HandlerSocket's creators at Japanese internet and gaming company Dena, reports over 750,000 queries per second performance on commodity server hardware: compared with 420,000 using memcache, and 105,000 using regular SQL access to MySQL. Furthermore, since the underlying InnoDB storage is used, HandlerSocket offers a NoSQL-type interface that doesn't have to trade away ACID compliance...read more Read more: AMT Blog
