Block Storage Enhancements¶
Block Storage was originally implemented with a FileSystem storage using indexes stored in LevelDB. This filesystem storage is not scalable and requires a separate storage for the indexes. The new storage used in this mod project is CouchDB.
CouchDB¶
There are several benefits for using CouchDB storage for blocks, among these are:
- The use of a distributed and scalable storage between peers.
- Indexes are managed in the same storage.
