I new to rust and databases I would like to implement a simple linkedhashmap and save to disk. My question is how can I read just the key/s required. For example if I have a 100gb file just read and write to the locations needed. Thank you
You could use seek on a File to jump to relevant place in the file. Alternatively, you could try memory-mapped files.
Unless you want to do this for the sake of exercise (which is a perfectly fine thing to do), i.e. you need to store and look up key-value pairs persistently for some other actual reason, you should probably be using a database for this purpose, e.g. SQLite.
My goal is to build a columnar file storage system, and use the key has a primary key for Delta's. Similar to parquet, but mutable and expand the capabilities with bloom filters and custom hashes.
