Kirk, how did you do this? Are you storing immutable objects and
turning older versions into garbage somehow? If you have no indexing,
then how do you enforce a consistent view across processes without
incurring disk i/o (at least having to read the inode)? Or are you
managing an arena that is backed by shared memory and you convert the
key values deterministically into offsets?

Sorry for all the questions, but I've just had to fight with this
problem too many times and it would be great if you've come up with a
better mousetrap.
