§Prolly
A Prolly Tree is a hybrid data structure that combines the features of B-trees and Merkle trees to provide both efficient data access and verifiable integrity. It is specifically designed to handle the requirements of distributed systems and large-scale databases, making indexes syncable and distributable over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.
§Features
- Verifiability: The cryptographic hashing in Prolly Trees ensures data integrity and allows for verifiable proofs of inclusion/exclusion.
- Performance: The balanced tree structure provides efficient data access patterns similar to B-trees, ensuring high performance for both random and sequential access.
- Scalability: Prolly Trees are suitable for large-scale applications, providing efficient index maintenance and data distribution capabilities.
- Flexibility: The probabilistic balancing allows for handling various mutation patterns without degrading performance or structure.
