keyspaceSize definition #11

Found this project via Hacker News. Looks awesome. Quick question:

“keyspaceSize”: 65536

Is that the number of items or number of bytes that can be stored? Typically you allocate X number of bytes of memory that can be used. Allocating the number of items seems strange as items will be variable length right?

Currently keyspaceSize represents the number of allowed key-value pairs on the node. This should really be the number of allowed bytes. It is an issue we'll address soon.
