    For another in-memory database example, you could also check out https://github.com/hashicorp/go-memdb, but it's based on a radix tree implementation.
  • Why use a real K/V database over a MapStore?

    I just think its a glorified map. Yeah, for example go-memdb list some of its advantages in their https://github.com/hashicorp/go-memdb/blob/master/README.md README. But it is not clear whether you gain any performance gain over a map except for avoiding the locking as explained.

    >So we invested what probably amounts to two or three weeks of engineering time into designing in-memory indexes that are transactionally consistent

    I'll be interested to see that part if it does get open sourced. I've used https://github.com/hashicorp/go-memdb which sounds similar.
