Any insights you can share on how you made search so fast? What kind of resources does it take to implement it?




Most of merklemap is stored on ZeroFS [0] and thus allows to scale IO ressources quite crazily :)

If you use 9P or NBD it handles fsync as expected. With NFS, it's time based.

Oh awesome! I was searching for consistency, but I guess durability is the word used for filesystems. Thanks!
