key-value access layer

[teckick]

Is there any plan to abstract a key-value access layer (kval) in opendal?

Not at the moment. Could you provide more details about your idea? What specific scenario do you plan to use?

[teckick]

Module opendal::ops provides several operators for object operation. Similarly, an opendal::kvops may provide operators for kv operation, such as SET, GET, RANGE, TXN, and implement different backends for them, such as RocksDB, Redis, Sled, memory.

This seems interesting. OpenDAL use the kv adapter to build services upon kv:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal/blob/2d174fc26cc2d16d17399775035261cd0d68352b/core/src/raw/adapters/kv/api.rs#L33-L132

Maybe it's worth to expose it?

[teckick]

Yes, with the kv Adapter, users can do kv operations directly.
