  if (err) throw err;
  users.get(['eugene'], function (err, data) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(data);

var users = db.sublevel('users');
var colors = db.sublevel('colors');
users.pre(function (change, add, batch) {
  // build an index on `color` and store it in the `colors` sublevel
  add({
    key: [change.value.color, timestamp()],
    value: change.key,
    prefix: colors
  });
});
users.put(['eugene'], { color: 'black' }, function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
