Integrating the event loops will go a long way. Basically, instead of:
var putter = h.async_put(stuff, morestuff);
putter.wait(); // Presumably this blocks until putter gets a
result?? That's not good! D:
Do this:
// (non-blocking!)
h.put(stuff, morestuff, function (err, result) {
// do stuff with err and result
});
Remember, the non-blocking is the secret sauce that makes node fast!
;) It'd be a shame to have this cancel out the speed hyperdex seems to
be going for.
Also: How hard would it be to implement this with pure javascript
instead of requiring a c++ build step? That would've been the easier
thing for me by far, and people appreciate the portability anyway.
