chainer is an experimental transaction log.
this could power a write ahead log in a database, store transactions for a blockchain, or any number of similar responsibilities.
this library is entirely experimental and not to be used in production without further scrutiny and testing.
it has a set of benchmark tests and some utilities for generating arbitrarily large sets of data to act on and test.
go test -v ./... to run the unit tests.
go test -bench=. to run the benchmark tests.
