@ -6,15 +6,12 @@ The storage engine can function as an alternative backend for Basho's Riak/KV.
Here's the bullet list:
- Very fast writes and deletes,
- Reasonably fast reads (N records are stored in log<sub>2</sub>(N) B-trees),
- Operations-friendly "append-only" storage (allows you to backup live system, and crash-recovery is very simple)
- Insert, Delete and Read all have worst case log<sub>2</sub>(N) complexity.
- The cost of evicting stale key/values is amortized into insertion, so you don't need to schedule merge to happen at off-peak hours.
- Operations-friendly "append-only" storage (allows you to backup live system, and crash-recovery is very fast)
- Supports range queries (and thus eventually Riak 2i.)
- Doesn't need a boat load of RAM
- All in 1000 lines of pure Erlang code
Once we're a bit more stable, we'll provide a Riak backend.
- Doesn't need much RAM, but does need a lot of file descriptors
- All around 3000 lines of pure Erlang code
