Ethereum Swarm Chunk Store experiment. Intended only for demonstration of possible performance improvements.
Name forky comes from the default Swarm fixed chunk data size of 4096 bytes or 4K (four kay -> forky) bytes, as this storage supports only fixed sized data chunks.
It is also a Toy Story 4 character. Given that Debian project uses Toy Story character names for release codenames, such correlation is quite nice.
Default tests are configured to validate correctness of implementations:
go test -v
To see results with different number of chunks tests can be run with optional arguments:
go test -timeout 30m -v github.com/janos/forky/leveldb -chunks 1000000
This will run both plain LevelDB store and Forky with LevelDB MetaStore tests with timings for comparison. A high number of chunks require setting an appropriate timeout flag, also.
