* lsm_btree
* [cleanup] add @doc strings and and -spec's
* [cleanup] check to make sure every error returns with a reason {error, Reason}
* [feature] statistics
* [feature] use lager for error messages
* [feature] add config parameters on open
* {sync, boolean()} fdsync or not on write
* {cache, bytes(), name} share max(bytes) cache named 'name' via etc
* [enhancement] use etc/emmap to access/cache files
* [enhancement] adaptive nursery sizing
* [feature] support for time based expiry, merge should eliminate expired data
* [feature] add truncate/1 - quickly truncates a database to 0 items
* [feature] add sync/1 - flush pending writes to disk (aka checkpoint)
(nursery:finish() and finish/flush any merges)
* [feature] count/1 - return number of items currently in tree
* [feature] "group" commit - ability to make many k/v add/update/deletes atomic (for 2i)
* [enhancement] backpressure on fold operations
- The "sync_fold" creates a snapshot (hard link to btree files), which
provides consistent behavior but may use a lot of disk space if there is
a lot of insertion going on.
- The "async_fold" folds a limited number, and remembers the last key
serviced, then picks up from there again. So you could see intermittent
puts in a subsequent batch of results.
* riak_kv_lsm_tree_backend
* add support for time-based expiry
* finish support for 2i
* add stats collection
- For each level {#merges, {merge-time-min, max, average}}
PHASE 2:
* lsm_btree
* Define a standard struct which is the metadata added at the end of the
file, e.g. [btree-nodes] [meta-data] [offset of meta-data]. This is written
in lsm_btree_writer:flush_nodes, and read in lsm_btree_reader:open2.
* [feature] compression, encryption on disk
PHASE 3:
* lsm_ixdb
* lsm_{btree, ctrie, ...} support for sub-databases and associations with
different index types
* [major change] add more CAPABILITIES such as
test-and-set(Fun, Key, Value) - to compare a vclock quickly, to speed up
the get/put patch for every update
* [enhancement] change encoding/layout of data on disk using sub-databases
and secondary indexes
bucket/key{meta[], data} -> ??

1: make the "first level" have more thatn 2^5 entries (controlled by the constant TOP_LEVEL in lsm_btree.hrl); this means a new set of files is opened/closed/merged for every 32 insert/updates/deletes. Setting this higher will just make the nursery correspondingly larger, which should be absolutely fine.
2: Right now, the streaming btree writer emits a btree page based on number of elements. This could be changed to be based on the size of the node (say, some block-size boudary) and then add padding at the end so that each node read becomes a clean block transfer. Right now, we're probably taking way to many reads.
3: Also, there is no caching of read nodes. So every time a btree node is visited it is also read from disk and term_to_binary'ed. But we need a caching system for that to work well (https://github.com/cliffmoon/cherly is difficult to build), it needs to be rebar-ified.
4: Also, the format for btree nodes could probably be optimized. Right now it's just binary_to_term of a key/value list as far as I remember. Perhaps we dont have to deserialize the entire thing.
5: It might also be good to employ a scheduler (github.com/esl/jobs<http://github.com/esl/jobs>) for issuing merges; because I think that it can be a problem for the OS if there are too many merges going on at the same time.
