How can I swap out data to disk, to save memory in #rust?

I'm storing lots of data in a big dict/hashtable. Keys are 64bit ints, values about 20-100 bytes. But I have 600-800M items. I'm currently using a `BTreeMap<i64, _>`.

Solution must be Rust, open source. Ideally nothing that needs another service running (ie j want something "embedded")

Is #RocksDB a sensible choice?

Btw, probably well-known by those closely involved in Nix et al, there's also #TVIX by The Virus Lounge, a #Rust reimplementation of the #Nix language. And a project that got funding from #NLnet @NGIZero

April 2024 Community Office Hours: Rust and Exchange Support - The Thunderbird Blog

Thunderbird developers discuss enabling Rust in Thunderbird, using Rust to provide native Exchange support, and their future plans.

^{Monica Ayhens-Madon (The Thunderbird Blog)}

In case you're not following our blog (gasp!), our Rust developers have the technical details on how we're using the language to bring in native Exchange support in the latest post.

So if you're a fan of all things Rust and email protocols, and you want to know what we've done so far and what's coming next, give it a read - and come to our office hours all about Rust and Exchange tomorrow at 16:00 UTC!
