title: steps for making a non-distributed db to distributed db [talking about lmdb specifically]
body: <p>I am dealing with lmdb and lmdb is really fast . But one problem with it is lmdb isn't distributed . Everytime i need to do some maintenance , lmdb has to taken down and sites is unavailable for few hours .  I researching on making lmdb a distributed one , implementing replication capabilites . So far the closest i have been close to it a <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/dynomite" rel="nofollow">dynomite</a> code base by netflix .<br>
  Issue with that it is currently applicable for redis and memcache ,but it say generic so it can be used for lmdb also .I am handling lmdb with python using <a href="https://github.com/dw/py-lmdb" rel="nofollow">py-lmdb</a> bindings</p>
  
  <p>I am out of clue how to approach it from lmdb perspective in python world , since code has to be written in python bindings also .</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated .</p>
