Hello,

Thanks a lot for your reply Kazuyuki.

These overlays work well for a reasonable amount of key (<10.000), but 
crash more or less (java exceptions, cpu/memory explosion, freeze, ....) 
when inserting millions of key per node. In theory, all overlays are 
designed to support millions of entries, but in practice, there are 
never tested. The authors just supposed that if it works with 10.000 
keys, then it works for 10.000.000 keys. But it's rarely the case.

And then CPU will become the issue (XML parsing, message marshalling, 
...), and then memory again, and so on .... :-)

Yes, I observed the same behavior on the overlays I've tested.

So, you're not aware of academic projects supporting massive items 
insertion ?

Thanks,
