You'd have to devise some sort of API or use something that Kamailio can
talk to, unless you're inclined to write a custom module that uses a
library[1].
Otherwise, the usual integration paths are available, e.g.
1) You could put a REST API server in front of VoltDB and use:
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.4.x/modules/http_async_client.html
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.4.x/modules/http_client.html
2) Or, you could write a server of some kind which mediates these
requests using EVAPI:
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.4.x/modules/evapi.html
3) Or, you could write a minimal SIP redirect service using a library
such as PJSUA/PJSIP, or JAIN,
https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/enterprise-architecture…
which would allow Kamailio to consume 3xx redirects as a transport for
information queries. That is a common pattern for external routing
services, for example.
It's also worth keeping in mind that even if you invent such a shim,
you're not going to be able to use VoltDB to provide database backing
for Kamailio's database-backed modules (e.g. htable, usrloc, dispatcher,
carrierroute, etc). If your aim is to make VoltDB work transparently
with those modules, then this isn't a viable project.
What you can do is query an API for some limited purposes. For example,
you could get authentication credentials from VoltDB and store them in
pseudovariables so as to feed them into functions which can use them,
such as:
https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/5.4.x/modules/auth.html#auth.f.pv_auth_ch…
But most Kamailio modules which extensively utilise a relational
database don't expose capabilities like that. That would, after all,
contradict the basic purpose for which a lot of them exist, which is to
transparently manage database interactions for you while providing terse
and easy-to-use syntactical sugar.
So, it depends on what exactly you want to do. If it's something very
specific, like getting routes or authentication credentials, you could
potentially use an unsupported database if you devise a means of
communicating with it indirectly, using a generic channel that Kamailio
does support.
But if you're asking if Kamailio supports VoltDB in a rather general
sense, the answer is no.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your answer. How to proceed to let Kamailio talk manually to
VoltDB ?
