The caches worked across reboots. I left not
long after we completed 1.0,
Bob Mende (RIP) and some other folks took the mmap based dbm (I called
mdbm) and put locks in each page so you could have multiple writers.
That code made its way to yahoo and just got used for everything, they
made it C++ (not a fan of that but whatever) and evolved it farther than
I ever imagined. They had DBs that were 100's of gigs ~20 years ago.
They open sourced their stuff.
Any idea where to find this now?
Thanks,
Arnold
