You could use the local file system as the datasource for a server.
For people who do not want to setup a database they would run a simple local
server that goes through the directory tree and builds a datasource.
This server would accept a small subset of the commands that the
database server accepts.

The interface to each server can be the same so the client doesn't need to
change. When the client starts it could query the server to determine
which commands
it will accept and disable the commands that can not be run.
