Comment on The kivaloo data storeparent

Comments

Some key-value stores support RANGE; some don't. I don't see what you're getting at here.

I'd read that some key-value stores are implemented using hash tables and erroneously assumed that was the general case. Good to know it isn't.

A lot of key-value stores use hashing at the distributive layer but not within individual nodes. Since kivaloo is currently single-node-only there's not much point using a hash.
