| Feb 27, 2018 at 15:27 | comment | added | Vega4 | Sure the way RocksDB is implemented would aid us much more than LevelDB but still. | |
| Feb 27, 2018 at 15:21 | comment | added | Vega4 | The question would be still perfectly valid for RocksDb with which I'm very familiar. The performance improvements stem from implementation decisions/compression etc. In RocksDB we would be still querying random keys and do not benefit from sorting. I'm talking about using block numbers as keys for instance. | |

| Feb 27, 2018 at 14:39 | comment | added | Linmao Song | I wonder if it's a path dependency that follows Bitcoin's implementation. Ethereum was inspired by Bitcoin, it also uses the same elliptic curve. I wonder if the initial implementation chose level db due to the same reason. | |
| Feb 27, 2018 at 14:34 | comment | added | ivicaa | Good question. For sure I only know that geth is using LevelDB. What about other clients? Here are some infos on that topic -> ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/824/… . Please also check the "Related"-sidebar! | |
