This is a rewrite (port) of LevelDB in Java. This goal is to have a feature complete implementation that is within 10% of the performance of the C++ original and produces byte-for-byte exact copies of the C++ code.
Currently the code base is basically functional, but only trivially tested. In some places, this code is a literal conversion of the C++ code and in others it has been converted to a more natural Java style. The plan is to leave the code closer to the C++ original until the baseline performance has been established.
