Go implementation of Bitcask - A Log-Structured Hash Table for Fast Key / Value Data
1 project | /r/golang | 16 Sep 2022

As a learning endeavor, I recently spent some time implementing a simple but powerful key/value store designed in the light of riak bitcask paper. It's still incomplete but works: https://github.com/aneshas/gocask
