> Yes. That's a good idea. My idea was, if the files are small, then the 
duplication wouldn't be such a big problem.  How large are the files in 
general?

It can also be related to data management. Those files size are from 
hundreds of kilobytes to hundred of megabytes, but some applications are 
limited to 2GB DBF and Shp files.

 > Is it important to ensure data is not corrupted on a crash ("kill -9") 
or power failure? If yes, what is the plan to ensure it? If you don't have 
plans yet, I'm sure we come up with a good idea (for example "overlay" the 
file, that is, just store the deltas). If not, why isn't it a problem?

GeoSpatial data are less important than financial data, then corruption are 
less critical. "overlay" is a good idea yes, It should be good to find a 
generic interface that file drivers must implements. It is somewhat complex 
to implements TableEngine each time. There is a lot of GIS file formats
