title: Best database for storing statistics from Erlang
body: <p>I need to choose a database for storing statistical data (in fact this is a series of timestamp-value data). I understand that virtually any database can handle this, but there are a couple of requirements:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>it should be fast;</li>
  <li>it should be able to handle A LOT of
  data (10s of gigabytes) and splice it
  fast;</li>
  <li>it should have a stable, maintained
  and handy interface to Erlang;</li>
  <li>it should be available from Python;</li>
  <li>it should be able to make something
  like the thing named "capped
  collections" in mongodb: collection
  with the capped size, with old data
  being rewritten if the size reach the
  limit.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I thought about mongo, but emongo seems to be a little dead - the last commit was made 7 months ago.</p>
