pile - a simple and fast append-only data store

Design goals

• Efficient adding of bug chunks of data.
• A user should be able to copy the storage data (for example, over the network) while still being able to use the database for both reads and writes.
• The storage should have a minimal dependency footprint.

Usage guide

Example

```rust use data_pile::{Database, Record, serialization::BasicRecordSerializer};

let db = Database::new("./pile", BasicRecordSerializer).unwrap();

let key = b"qwerty"; let value = b"some data";

let record = Record::new(&key[..], &value[..]); db.put(record).unwrap(); ```

Transferring the data

• Get the raw data by using Database::snapshot().
• Copy it somewhere.
• Create the root direcotry of the data store, create a file named data in it and add all snapshot data into it.
• Just start using the database: it will verify correctness and rebuild all indexes.
