Description

Hi!

I have two big collections of data(none of them fits in memory, for example i have 8 gb ram and each of collections have size 16gb), and i would like to do something like join of two this collections.

One of the best way, i think, is contain data in collections in sorted order(or doing this in buckets with same hash function for building buckets) and doing join for a linear time.

is mapdb fitted for this operation? Is it good idea to use mapdb for it?
I have checked this solution on postgres and it worked very-very long.

PS Sorry for my english, i am not native speaker.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing MapDB's disk-backed collection APIs and how they handle collections larger than memory; done would require a documented supported approach for joining two 16 GB collections or a clarified implementation request.
