Description

@veod32

Related to #1632

Discussed with @Mons.

Topics to be covered in broader description of how memtx works can be the following:

  • memory model (allocation -- in one thread; the small memory allocator)
  • механизм записи всего этого на диск -- persisting data on disk (xlog, snapshots)
  • доступ к данным в виде индексов -- accessing data (indexes - как минимум рассказать про основной - древовидный)

Revised content from presentations and trainings about Tarantool can be used.

Draft storyline can be the following:

  • All data is in memory
  • Access to data is from one thread
  • Changes are being written in the Write Ahead Log (WAL)
  • Indexes are build to access the data
  • Data snapshots are taken periodically
  • WAL is replicated
