MongoDB
Currently CDRTool uses OpenSIPS radius client/ FreeRadius server/ MySQL database chain. This chain has weaknesses and scalability drawbacks, too many to mention.
Based on this analysis, MongoDB is a good candidate to replace the whole chain with a more scalable and elegant solution.
- Scales horizontally with the amount of hardware
- Almost zero configuration to install and run on Debbian, a few binaries only
- All works as one would expect a database, well documented by the makers
- Easy to learn and use (about two days)
- Multiple collections per database, equivalent to table in SQL
- Document oriented, a document is equivalent to a row in SQL schema
- Documents can have a different structure, unlike SQL schemas that have fixed columns
- Documents are JSONs. Can be imported and exported as such using cli tools. Backup/restore is dead easy
- Query language is dead simple using array/dictionaries
- Clever pipelines of processing on database server similar to UNIX pipes (version > 2.2)
- All CDRTool SQL queries equivalent were possible (with latest 2.2 server version and 1.3 client version)
- Multiple nodes with automatic replication, nothing to repair, does not conflict
- New nodes can be added or removed with a simple command, data replicated on the fly without locking
