Evaluating and Extending the Design of SILT

Evaluation

We designed our key-value store to meet many goals. Let's assess how well our store meets those goals. We will offer possible extensions to our design as well.

Reduced per-key memory consumption

Our three stores in decreasing per-key memory consumption are the write-friendly store, the intermediary store, and the memory-efficient store. In our design, the proportion of key-value entries stored increases in this order. We have ensured that our most memory-efficient store has most of our entries.

We cannot avoid storing keys in the write-friendly and intermediary stores since it is required to make our write requests efficient.
