Description
I am currently thinking about implementing map reduce with MapDB maps in my application. CouchDB has an approach where intermediate reduce results get stored in b-tree nodes for faster computations after b-tree changes (only nodes with changed children need to be recomputed). That might also be possible with MapDB, when DirNodes could have additional persistent properties.
Would be interesting to have such a map/reduce functionality built right into the MapDB core.

Research direction
Start by reviewing MapDB core's map implementation and the role of DirNodes in persistent storage. Compare the proposed CouchDB-style intermediate reduce results with MapDB's current design, then define the API and persistence behavior needed for incremental recomputation after tree changes.
