go-caskdb

Go-CaskDB is a disk-based, embedded, persistent, key-value store based on the Riak's bitcask paper , written in Golang inspired from py-CaskDB. It is more focused on the educational capabilities than using it in production. The file format is platform, machine, and programming language independent.

Tasks

• Get, Set KV using disk as store
• Loading data from disk onto memory
• testing
• Proper logging
• Support for generic key and values (right now only for strings)
• need better way of handling bytes (very bad rn)
• Benchmarking
• Crash Safety
• Key Deletion
• RB-tree to support range scans
• Split db file into several small files (implement merging compaction using go-routines)
• Cache
• Garbage Collector for removing old deleted keys
• Distributed using Paxos or consistent hashing
