Package storage implement a collection of storage algorithm and necessary tools and libraries. Applications wishing to use this package please checkout interfaces defined under api/.

As of now, two data structures are available for indexing key,value entries:

llrb in memory left-leaning red-black tree
bubt immutable, durable bottoms up btree.
bogn multi-leveled, lsm based, ACID compliant storage.

There are some sub-packages that are common to all storage algorithms:

flock read-write mutex locks across process.
lib collections of helper functions.
lsm implements log-structured-merge.
malloc custom memory alloctor, can be used instead of golang's memory allocator or OS allocator.
