Remove eleveldb #23

Closed albsch closed 5 years ago

albsch commented 5 years ago

Remove the eleveldb dependency.

Eleveldb is used to build hashtrees for the anti entropy functionality. The persistence features is not used and thus the db can be replaced by any in memory storage system. This will reduce the compile time and remove C code source from the project.

Investiage what type of metadata are stored
Replace eleveldb calls in hashtree with other other system. Candidate: DETS
- eleveldb is not used to persist the hashtree
- riak_core abuses eleveldb iterator call as a snapshot capture
