If I'm not mistaken, Oak is based on Riak, i.e. external storage engine.
Actually, I was talking about Smalltalk-based solution. Why do you
prefer an “externally supported backend”?
Yes, it uses Riak - although it "can" use other k/v stores, but we
decided to focus on Riak for the moment to keep things simpler and to be
able to use features of Riak in a more direct way.
Personally I would love to also make it work for HyperDex but that
little project is on my back burner right now.
I actually prefer to have a popular, hardened and widely used industrial
strength engine at the bottom. Our community is so small that building
and maintaining the same level of confidence in a Smalltalk only system
is very hard. And also, don't forget performance.
