This storage engine can function as an alternative backend for Basho's Riak/KV. See also: SQLite4

Put these values in your app.config in the lsm_tree section

 {lsm_tree, [
          {data_root, "./data/lsm_tree"}
         ]},

This is an experimental backend, it should not be used for production deployments. The goal is to understand the operational features of the log-structured merge tree written for use in SQLite version 4, nothing else.

Deploy lsm_tree into a Riak devrel cluster using the enable-lsm_tree script. Clone the riak repo, change your working directory to it, and then execute the enable-lsm_tree script. It adds lsm_tree as a dependency, runs make all devrel, and then modifies the configuration settings of the resulting dev nodes to use the lsm_tree storage backend.
