IODB - database engine for blockchain

IODB is embedded storage engine designed for blockchain applications. It is inspired by RocksDB. It provides ordered key-value store, it is similar to SortedMap<byte[], byte[]>. Its main advantage are snapshots with branching and fast rollbacks.

Main features include:

• Ordered key-value store
• Written in Scala, functional interface
• Multi-threaded background compaction
• Very fast durable commits
• Atomic updates with MVCC isolation and crash protection
• Snapshots with branching and rollbacks
• Log structured storage, old data are never overwritten for improved crash protection
