Review: node-pixl-server-storage 4.1.0+ds-1

Package Information

Descriptionstorage component for the Node.js pixl-server framework

This module is a component for use in pixl-server. It implements a simple key/value storage system that can use multiple back-ends, such as Amazon S3, Redis, or a local filesystem. It introduces the concept of a "chunked linked list", which supports extremely fast push, pop, shift, unshift, and random reads/writes. Also provided is a fast hash table implementation with key iteration, a transaction system, and an indexing and search system.

Features:

- Uses very little memory in most cases. - Store JSON or binary (raw) data records. - Supports multiple back-ends including Amazon S3, Redis, and local filesystem. - Linked lists with very fast push, pop, shift, unshift, and random reads/writes. - Hash tables with key iterators, and very fast reads / writes. - Advisory locking system with shared and exclusive locks. - Variable expiration dates per key and automatic deletion. - Transaction system for isolated compound operations and atomic commits, rollbacks. - Indexing system for searches across collections of JSON records. - Supports Google-style full-text search queries.

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

Final Comment

Thanks for your diligence in preparing this package. I noticed a slight
slip in debian/copyright where some copyright notices from the source
code are not documented.

First, several files in the engines/ directory, specifically
Redis.js, RedisCluster.js, SQLite.js, Couchbase.js, and Postgres.js,
contain a code snippet from node-streamifier with the following
notice: "Copyright (c) 2014 Gabriel Llamas, MIT Licensed". This
copyright holder and license are currently missing from
debian/copyright.

Second, the file pxql.ne contains a copyright notice for both
PixlCore.com and Joseph Huckaby:
"Copyright (c) 2017 PixlCore.com and Joseph Huckaby". The copyright
for PixlCore.com should be added to debian/copyright to match.
