Write Ahead Log for LSM or bitcask storage, with block cache.
Format of a single segment file:
+-----+-------------+--+----+----------+------+-- ... ----+
File | r0 | r1 |P | r2 | r3 | r4 | |
+-----+-------------+--+----+----------+------+-- ... ----+
|<---- BlockSize ----->|<---- BlockSize ----->|
rn = variable size records
P = Padding
BlockSize = 32KB
Format of a single record:
+----------+-------------+-----------+--- ... ---+
| CRC (4B) | Length (2B) | Type (1B) | Payload |
+----------+-------------+-----------+--- ... ---+
CRC = 32-bit hash computed over the payload using CRC
Length = Length of the payload data
Type = Type of record
(FullType, FirstType, MiddleType, LastType)
The type is used to group a bunch of records together to represent
blocks that are larger than BlockSize
Payload = Byte stream as long as specified by the payload size
func main() {
wal, _ := wal.Open(wal.DefaultOptions)

val, _ := wal.Read(chunkPosition)
fmt.Println(string(val))
wal.Write([]byte("some data 2"))
wal.Write([]byte("some data 3"))
// iterate all data in wal
reader := wal.NewReader()
for {
val, pos, err := reader.Next()
if err == io.EOF {

}
fmt.Println(string(val))
fmt.Println(pos) // get position of the data for next read
