+Provide versioned, clustered, flexible, object-relational database
+functionality for the Sixth computation engine.
+
+
+
+
I hate object-relational impedance mismatch.
+
+
+
I don't like to convert data between persistent database and runtime
+objects for every transaction. How about creating united
+database/computation engine instead to:
+
+
Eliminate constant moving and converting of data between 2 systems.
+
+
Abstract away difference between RAM VS persistent storage. Let
+the system decide at runtime which data to keep in what kind of
+memory.
+
List of all declared unique object fields (columns).
+
+
List of all historical transactions/commits/versions (think of
+sheets of paper).
+
+
List of all concurrently running branches/threads. Branches can
+appear and merge over time as needed.
+
+
(Every cell is concrete field value within an object)
+
+
+
+
+Partitioning/clustering:
+
+
+
Why not to partition/(load balance) as required across networked
+physical computers along arbitrary dimension(s) declared above ?
+
+
+
+
+Indexing (for fast searching):
+
+
+
Why not to index along arbitrary dimensions (as required) ?
+
+
+
+
+Further optimizations:
+
+
+
In current early stage, trying to focus on minimum possible set of
+features that would provide maximum possible set of power/benefit :)
+
+
Once featres are locked. Anything can be optimised. Optimization for
+size (deduplication) can be solved using Git style content
+addressible storage mechanism.

2 Current status
+
+
+
Implemented very simple persistent key-value map.
+
+
+
+
+Long term goal is to implement more advanced features on top of this.
