建立键值存储

Question

I'm thinking of building a distributed data storage with a client/server architecture. I want the client to associate keys (String) to values (byte[]), like a Map does. I want to do this in Java using sockets, threads and files.

How can i do this as simple as possible?

Thanks

Answer 1

You really want to reinvent that wheel?

If you're absolutely determined to do this, at least take a look at previous attempts (Cassandra for example is a distributed key-value store written in Java), and see what mistakes were made so you can improve on the effort.

Answer 2

To do it as simple as possible, use distributed hash table . You can implement your own, of course, but there is no easy way to do that.
