KDB client for LUA
You can use this to link with nginx+lua/openresty/whatever to get a Q-powered web service that can do more than a few thousand connections per second.
Pre-Flight
Building on OSX
Linking with m64/c.o requires GCC
brew install gcc lua rlwrap
Building on Linux
Default is to build lua using l64/c.o
apt-get install build-essential liblua5.1-dev
but kdb is 32-bit, so to get it working you'll need:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install -yy --no-install-recommends ia32-libs gcc rlwrap
Testing
Start up kdb in a window:
rlwrap ~/q/?32/q
and load the server:
\l test.q
Run the lua-side tests in another window:
make test
