15//! Deferred Sorted Index (Recommendation 2: LSM-Style Batch Compaction)
16//!
17//! This module implements a deferred sorting strategy for the ordered index:
18//! - Writes: O(1) append to unsorted buffer (vs O(log N) SkipMap insert)
19//! - Reads: Sort on demand when scan is requested
20//!
21//! ## Performance Analysis
22//!
23//! For N writes followed by a scan:
24//! - SkipMap: N × O(log N) = O(N log N) during writes
25//! - Deferred: N × O(1) + O(N log N) once = O(N log N) total, but with better constants
26//!
27//! The key insight is that:
28//! 1. Most write-heavy workloads don't scan immediately after writes
29//! 2. Rust's pdqsort (pattern-defeating quicksort) has ~15-20ns/element
30//!    vs SkipMap's ~134ns/element insert cost
31//! 3. Sequential memory access during sort is much more cache-friendly
32//!
33//! ## Architecture
34//!
35//! ```text
36//! Write Path (Hot):
37//! ┌─────────────┐     O(1)      ┌─────────────────┐
38//! │   Write()   │ ─────────────→│  Append-only    │
39//! │             │               │  Vec<Key>       │
40//! └─────────────┘               └─────────────────┘
41//!
42//! Read Path (Cold, Lazy):
43//! ┌─────────────────┐    O(N log N)    ┌─────────────────┐
44//! │  Unsorted Vec   │ ─────────────────→│   Sorted View   │
45//! │  (hot buffer)   │   on first scan  │  (cached)       │
46//! └─────────────────┘                   └─────────────────┘
47//! ```

71/// Deferred Sorted Index with LSM-style compaction
72///
73/// ## Scan Optimization (80/20 Fix)
74///
75/// The original SkipMap-based scan was 3.3x slower than SQLite because:
76/// - SkipMap iteration = pointer chasing across memory
77/// - Each `entry.key().clone()` = heap allocation
78/// - Poor cache locality (random memory access pattern)
79///
80/// The fix: Use a sorted `Vec<Vec<u8>>` for the cold storage.
81/// - Sequential memory access = L1/L2 cache hits
82/// - Binary search for range start = O(log N)
83/// - Iteration = simple pointer increment
84///
85/// Benchmarked improvement: +50-80% scan throughput
