merk-go

Go implementation of merk which is A High-Performance Merkle AVL Tree created by nomic-io: https://github.com/nomic-io/merk/blob/develop/docs/algorithms.md

Benchmarks

A benchmark was done using macbook pro 2020.
CPU: 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
MEM: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

The benchmark task was processing 100k batch which is composed of 50 % insert and 40 % update and 10% delete cases. Mark is compared with an ordinary avl tree. (referred to wavelet)

As a result, Merk is 5 times faster in no commit case. And 2 times faster in commit case.

Result: Merk
