FDB (Fields DataBase) is a domain-specific object store developed at ECMWF for storing, indexing and retrieving GRIB data. Each GRIB message is stored as a field and indexed trough semantic metadata (i.e. physical variables such as temperature, pressure, ...).
A set of fields can be retrieved specifying a request using a specific language developed for accessing MARS_ Archive
FDB exposes a C++ API as well as CLI tools_.
Requirements
============
Runtime dependencies:
:eccodes: http://github.com/ecmwf/eccodes
:eckit: http://github.com/ecmwf/eckit
:metkit: http://github.com/ecmwf/metkit
Build dependencies:
:CMake: For use and installation see http://www.cmake.org/
:ecbuild: ECMWF library of CMake macros ()
Installation
============
fdb employs an out-of-source build/install based on CMake.
Make sure ecbuild is installed and the ecbuild executable script is found ( ``which ecbuild`` ).
Now proceed with installation as follows:
::
# Environment --- Edit as needed
srcdir=$(pwd)
builddir=build
installdir=$HOME/local
# 1. Create the build directory:
mkdir $builddir
cd $builddir
# 2. Run CMake
ecbuild --prefix=$installdir -- -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=</path/to/installations> $srcdir
# 3. Compile / Install
make -j10
make install

Two publications, co-authored by Simon D. Smart, Tiago Quintino, Baudouin Raoult
describe fdb architecture and have been presented at PASC'17 `A Scalable Object Store for Meteorological and Climate Data`_ and PASC'19 `A High-Performance Distributed Object-Store for Exascale Numerical Weather Prediction and Climate`_
