LMDB backend for Raft

raft-mdb

This repository provides the raftmdb package. The package exports the MDBStore which is an implementation of both a LogStore and StableStore.

It is meant to be used as a backend for the raft package here.

This implementation uses LMDB. LMDB has a number of advantages to other embedded databases includes transactions, MVCC, and lack of compaction.

The one disadvantage is because it is a C library, it requires the use of cgo which complicates cross compilation. For that reason, this is in a seperate package from raft, so that clients can avoid cgo if they so choose.
