Project Description

grog aims to implements a namespaced, distributed map kept alive by an arbitrary number of nodes over a local network.
It uses TCP and UDP multicast.

For a detailed specification see grog's github repository

grog can be implemented in any programming language.
It deals with networking problems in a distributed cluster.

• Possibly useful when developing a distributed application.
• Not designed to be used in production.
• Not meant to be efficient in space.
• Immediate usage.
• Zero network configuration.
• No data definition.
• Arbitrary complex type for values.
• json as unique value's format.
• Small operation set to access and manipulate the map:
  • get, to get the value of a key from a map
  • set, to add or update the value of a key in a map
  • del, to remove a key, value pair from a map
• Integrable in programs where an implementation for that language exists.

Goal for this Hackweek

Play with Go programming language.
Try to provide a minimum viable deamon and CLI written in Go.

I'm looking for people interested in networking protocols and networking problems.
