The document proposes a new key-value store that is optimized for real hardware, usable by ordinary programmers, and has a powerful simple API. It suggests that the new store use fast disk streaming I/O, support random writes, and allow many processes to concurrently write to the same object at different offsets. The document also outlines some high-level ideas for the data model, which would include namespaces of objects and more namespaces, with access control based on process UID and public/private permissions.
