TiKV (https://github.com/tikv/tikv) is a database (KV-store to be precise) written in Rust and speaks MySQL protocol.

Toshi (https://github.com/toshi-search/Toshi) is Elasticsearch-like engine that uses tantivy (Lucene-like), both also written in Rust.

There was https://github.com/PumpkinDB/PumpkinDB but it seems dead :(

Same with https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/

https://github.com/indradb/indradb is a newer db in alpha.

https://github.com/spacejam/sled is also in alpha but is being actively developed.

Thanks for the tip to Toshi! Exactly what I was looking for.

I have a need for an ultra simple, low volume, non critical full text search system. I was looking for alternative to Elasticsearch, that I could also contribute to, and here it is!!!

Tikv is key-value. Mysql layer, tidb, is in golang.

Tidb is built on top of tikv though.
