Olric: Distributed in-memory data structures in Go

I have been curious about Olric for a while now.

* It is embeddable.

* Seems easy to install, even without Kubernetes.

I am just missing performance number to answer questions like: Is it significantly faster than etcd? Is it faster than tikv? And finally, is it faster than Redis Cluster?

I don't think it should be compared to etcd since it only offers best-effort consistency while etcd is strictly consistent.

Great questions!

What's the underlying algo/impl used for this? According to the release notes it uses a DTopic data structure. While interesting, I'm not really sure if this is a unique/new structure by the author (buraksezer) or if it is an impl. from a paper I'm not aware of.

If anyone has more information about it, let me know!
