I've built it a solid proof-of-concept system on leveldb, and use some 2i indexes in order to search for certain things - usually just for counts of things.
I have two questions so far: First off, why is Bitcask the default? Is it just because it is faster? Or is it considered more 'stable' or something? Next, I've learned about the allow_mult feature you can set on buckets. I wonder if I should use this for my most heavily-used primary-purpose queries? Is there a limit to how many 'siblings' you can have for an entry? Is it inadvisable to do what I'm talking about? Would fetching all of the siblings end up being a disastrous nightmare or something? I *assume* - and I could be wrong - that a 2i query would be slower than a fetch-of-siblings for a particular key - is that wrong? If I switch from using 2i indexes to using allow_mult and siblings, we'd be talking a few hundred thousand to low millions for a sibling-count. Thanks for making an excellent product! Can't wait to get this bad boy into production and really see what it can do! -B.
