go-ds-arc

This is an IPFS datastore implementation backed by an Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC).

From golang-lru/arc:

ARC is an enhancement over the standard LRU cache in that tracks both frequency and recency of use. This avoids a burst in access to new entries from evicting the frequently used older entries. It adds some additional tracking overhead to a standard LRU cache, computationally it is roughly 2x the cost, and the extra memory overhead is linear with the size of the cache. ARC has been patented by IBM, but is similar to the TwoQueueCache (2Q) which requires setting parameters.

Install

go get github.com/storacha/go-ds-arc

Usage

package main

import "github.com/storacha/go-ds-arc"

func main() {
  capacity := 1000

  // create a datastore with capacity for 1,000 items
  ds, err := arc.New(capacity)

  // use as per https://github.com/ipfs/go-datastore
}
