Tablet is a basic key-value store. Instead of storing everything in memory, it stores everything on disk.
When initialized, the following folder structure is created:
.tablet\
objects\
Objects are added to a IList<T>, serialized, then compressed and written to disk. When new objects are added to a key, the objects are uncompressed, deserialized and casted into a IList<T>. The new object is then added to the IList<T> and re-serialized...compressed...and stored.
Objects follow a git inspired storage method. Basically the key of the object you're going to Push is SHA1 hashed and a directory is created with the first two characters of the SHA1 and a file with the last 38 characters of the SHA1
i.e.
.tablet\
objects\
35\
6a192b7913b04c54574d18c28d46e6395428ab
Needs Improvement: Instead of just hashing the key, it should probably hash "typeof(T) key" otherwise objects of different types will end in the same bucket.
Inserting 1000 objects into the same bucket in Tablet one by one takes about 8 seconds.
tl;dr This was a bad idea.
