Hey, welcome back, definitely! ;-)
This is interesting. I have a couple of questions:
1. do you have any benchmarks for this filer against the one actually supplied?
Right now all I've done are run the unit tests, but it is much faster on those. Those aren't designed as a benchmark of course, but I'm really skeptical about the performance of the current BTree. There's a lot to do to understand what it going on which is why I started pulling things outside of the server to look at them.
My original goal was to just have something to play with and to use to help bootstrap some of the more advanced facilities (i.e. transactions). I have no desire for us to become dependent on native code, but it will also be a good option for people who want to try it.
BTW, thanks Vladimir for picking up the filer tests and making them so much better.
2. did you give a try to the upcoming dbxml from the Sleepycat guys? It's still alpha, but it definitely looks promising...
I've been following it for quite a while, but I've never tried it. I agree it looks very promising, but I see it as a competitor to Xindice rather then something that can help us. Do you see something different?
