- The DiskStorage uses only one file instead of millions.
Also the block size is only 512 byte instead of 4kb, which
helps to reduce the memory usage for short sequences.
- Update primitiveCollections to get the new LongList.range
and LongList.rangeClosed methods.
- BSFile now stores Time&Value sequences and knows how to
encode the time values with delta encoding.
- Doc had to do some magic tricks to save memory. The path
was initialized lazy and stored as byte array. This is no
longer necessary. The patch was replaced by the
rootBlockNumber of the BSFile.
- Had to temporarily disable the 'in' queries.
- The stored values are now processed as stream of LongLists
instead of Entry. The overhead for creating Entries is
gone, so is the memory overhead, because Entry was an
object and had a reference to the tags, which is
unnecessary.
It can store multiple streams of integers in a single
file. It uses blocks of 512 byte, which is only 1/8th
of the block size the file based data-store uses. This
reduces the overhead and waste of memory for short
integer streams significantly. Storing data in one big
file, instead of many small files, makes backups much
more efficient.
