Yorick

Yorick is a basic blob storage system for writing blocks of and having stable identifiers to retrieve the block.

Yorick is effectively a glorified WAL which performs automatic compaction and re-structuring of data on disk in order to group blocks which are a part of the same 'group' together.

Features

• Multiple IO backends to select (BufferedIO, DirectIO)
• Non-blocking async interface.
• Automatic relocating of data on disk to aid with IO caching.

What Yorick is not

• Not an atomic key-value store.
• Not a standard WAL.
• Not optimised for small chunks of data (Think Kilobytes+ vs Bytes)
