This can be used when we have LRU in order to super-compress data into memory, for data not accessed frequetly. It's a VM-alike strategy but fully in memory, may reduce the space to hold some dataset in an impressive way. Trivial to implement. +* Another idea: LRU does not need to be super precise right? Maybe it's a good idea to just put into the skiplist implementing the LRU just the pointer to the key without evne incr/decr business, nor the need to remove the pointer when the key is deleted. There is to think more about that. -VERSION 2.2 TODO (Optimizations and latency) -============================================ +VERSION 2.x TODO +================ -* JSON command able to access data serialized in JSON format.
