A couple of nitpicks, peripheral to BDB, specific to SKS, related to pagesize:
The sampleConfig/sksconf.typical file includes these lines:
# KDB/key 65536
pagesize: 128
#
# KDB/keyid 32768
keyid_pagesize: 64
1) The naming of “pagesize” (likely BDB hysterical naming) does not
follow the other table(s) naming: one would expect “key_pagesize”.
2) There is no “keyid_pagesize”. In fact, if you set that variable,
then sks fails to run with an obscure error. (there’s likely a different
config variable name in the sources, haven’t looked).
The second failure is seen iff sksconf is in the current directory when running
sks_build.sh.
Which brings up another another nitpick: if trying to set per-table pagesize
using
sksconf, then a warning message might be useful if the current directory does
*NOT*
contain a valid sksconf.
(aside: note-to-self)
There is likely a way to change pagesize without having to reload from a dump.
I’ll
see if I can dig out the details. todo++.
