Milestone
The current bucket format is copied directly from what the JavaScript version of cacache does.
I no longer think it's worth trying to preserve compatibility, and the performance of index-related operations is kind of horrendous right now, so I think it's time to explore a new on-disk format for the index buckets.
My current thinking is to use
serde
more directly, and come up with a better strategy for the generic metadata field, as well.And of course, if there's no actual perf difference, this issue should just be closed, but this is worth exploring anyway.
