# Olivia
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/GrappigPanda/Olivia.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/GrappigPanda/Olivia)
[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/GrappigPanda/Olivia)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/GrappigPanda/Olivia)

Olivia is essentially a distributed hash table that I built to test out some
weird ideas I've had about Go and distributed programming that I've had.

## What is Olivia
Olivia is essentially just a distributed hash table with added goodies.
From early on, I wanted to use bloomfilters to enhance lookup speed
between different remote nodes and I'm fairly happy with how that's turned
out. Bloom filters allow us to prioritize which nodes we'll request keys from,
rather than blindly sending out requests to all known nodes.

## What Olivia could become
I'm still not 100% sure on the end vision. When I originally started out
building this thing, I just wanted three things:
  - Distribution
  - Remote key lookups (consistency between each node has never been huge)
  - Key Expiration

As I build it, however, my desired are changing. I now want consistency between
nodes, but I haven't yet decided how I'll go about it. Olivia was originally
intended to be part of a distributed torrent tracker network, but it is no
longer a worthwhile pursuit, as distributed hash tables (as a part of the
Bittorrent network) are able to be edited (upon BEP acceptance).

## Running an Olivia Node
Real quick and easy steps to run a node:
```
  1. git clone https://github.com/GrappigPanda/Olivia
  2. cd Olivia
  3. go get ./...
  4. go build
  5. ./Olivia
```

These 5 commands will get a **base level** node running, where the node runs,
accepts commands, and will allow incoming connections from other Olivia nodes.
To run a network of nodes, please see the config file and change a grand total
of _3_ variables.

An example workflow.
```
  $ nc 127.0.0.1 5454
  SET key1:value1,key2:value2,key3:value3
  :SAT key1:value1,key2:value2,key3:value3
  GET key2
  :GOT key2:value2
```
This is a really simple workflow, but it shows that setting keys/retrieving
keys is simple.
