Roadmap

[joeblew99]

Would be helpful.

I like this dB, but no updates and no roadmap ?

Hey, thanks for your interest in the project!

I would have loved to spend more time on it, but at the moment I am quite busy with two other projects. I hope that my schedule will free up in the near future.

In the meanwhile, please don't hesitate to make feature suggestions and/or contributions.

Ok thanks for letting me know.

Some feature suggestions.

1. Some sharing / replication strategies
2. Extend queries. The api is using some really poor names.
3. sorting. Very important.

[HouzuoGuo]

I absolutely agree. In order to support sorting I must implement an efficient on-disk structure, but quite unfortunately the performance has always been dissatisfactory after numerous attempts. If you have any reading materials on building a cache friendly, disk optimised skip list, please share.

I can't fully remember the locking strategies tiedit has. Am a bit rushed tonight...

But all this functionality will initially need a proper locking / unlocking strategy to handle times when read operations are happening as opposed to write ops.

Or you can avoid this issue by using a WAL ( write ahead log) style of holding the data on disk.

Hope I have explained the issue and potential remedy options.
