I'm glad someone is addressing these issues. I think I'm not the only person that have had some bulk-write and compaction related performance problems with LevelDB. I wonder if there is any chance the changes from this fork will be rolled back into LevelDB codebase.

I can answer the opposite question: we intend to keep in sync with upstream. Since HyperLevelDB is a drop-in replacement for LevelDB, it should be fairly easy for LevelDB users to pick it up.

Why can't you just push it upstream? Is there resistance?

We will try to push upstream those pieces that upstream would need. Some pieces, such as the autoconfiscated build system are likely not of interest to them, but of interest to us.

We're doing our best to keep API compatibility with LevelDB and will do our best to keep true to LevelDB. That being said, it'd be great to see our changes flow upstream.
