-RaftDB 内置了一个高性能、线程安全的嵌入式键值存储引擎。该引擎专为 Raft 状态机设计，支持高并发读写、倒排索引查询以及磁盘空间复用。
+RaftDB 内置了一个高性能、线程安全的嵌入式键值存储引擎。该引擎专为 Raft 状态机设计，经过深度优化，采用 Radix Tree（基数树）作为核心索引结构。
 
 ## 1. 核心特性
 
-*   **高并发 (High Concurrency)**: 采用分片锁 (Striped Locking) 和原子操作，支持数万 QPS 的并行读写。
-*   **数据安全 (Data Safety)**: Key 级锁确保同一 Key 的读写操作原子性，避免脏读和写冲突。
-*   **磁盘复用 (Disk Reuse)**: 内置 Best-Fit 策略的 FreeList，自动回收并重用被删除或更新产生的空闲磁盘空间。
-*   **倒排索引 (Inverted Index)**: 支持对 Key 和 Value 的自动分词索引，支持复杂的 SQL 风格查询。
-*   **崩溃一致性 (Crash Consistency)**: 优化的写入顺序（Write New -> Update Index -> Mark Old Deleted），确保数据不丢失。
+*   **极速读写 (Blazing Fast)**: 基于 Radix Tree 的内存索引，支持数十万 QPS 的读写。
+*   **高级查询 (Advanced Query)**: 支持前缀搜索、范围扫描，以及 `LIMIT/OFFSET` 下推优化。
+*   **空间复用 (Disk Reuse)**: 内置 Best-Fit 策略的 FreeList，自动回收磁盘空间。
+*   **热点缓存 (Hot Cache)**: 内置 LRU-style 缓存，加速热点数据读取。
+*   **全文本支持 (Full Text)**: 基础的倒排索引架构（可扩展）。
 
-## 2. 架构设计
+## 2. 架构设计 (Architecture)
 
-### 2.1 存储布局 (Storage Layout)
+### 2.1 核心索引: Radix Tree (Memory)
+摒弃了传统的 Hash Map + Sharding 方案，采用单体 **Radix Tree**。
+*   **优势**: 
+    *   **有序性**: 天然支持 Key 的字典序遍历，无需排序。
+    *   **前缀压缩**: 节省大量内存，特别适合 Key 具有公共前缀的场景（如 `user.1`, `user.2`）。
+    *   **范围查询**: `WalkPrefix` 操作复杂度仅为 O(K)，与总数据量无关。
 
-数据存储在单个 append-only 文件中 (`values.data`)，但支持空间复用。
+### 2.2 存储层 (Storage Layer)
+*   **Append-only Log**: 数据追加写入，保证崩溃恢复能力。
+*   **In-Place Update**: 尝试原地更新（若空间足够），减少碎片。
+*   **FreeList**: 维护空闲槽位，优先复用。
+*   **Page Cache**: 简单的内存缓存层，减少系统调用。
 
-**物理格式:**
-```
-[Header][Data]
-```
-*   **Header (9 bytes)**:
-    *   `Flag` (1 byte): `0x01` (Valid) 或 `0x00` (Deleted)
-    *   `Capacity` (4 bytes): 该槽位分配的总大小（包含 Data），用于复用。
-    *   `Length` (4 bytes): 实际数据长度。
-*   **Data**: 实际存储的 Key/Value 数据。
-
-### 2.2 内存索引 (In-Memory Index)
-
-为了减少锁竞争，核心数据结构均采用了分片设计 (Sharding)。
-
-1.  **IndexShards (16 Shards)**:
-    *   存储 `KeyID -> {FileOffset, CommitIndex}` 的映射。
-    *   读写请求根据 KeyHash 分发到不同分片，互不干扰。
-
-2.  **KeyMap (16 Shards)**:
-    *   维护 `String Key <-> uint32 KeyID` 的双向映射。
-    *   减少内存占用（索引中使用 uint32 替代 string），并加速比较。
-
-3.  **InvertedIndex (16 Shards)**:
-    *   维护 `Token -> []KeyID` 的倒排表。
-    *   支持 `LIKE` 和全文匹配查询。
-
-### 2.3 锁机制 (Locking Strategy)
-
-*   **Key Locks (1024 Striped Locks)**:
-    *   针对特定 Key 的操作（Get/Set）必须先获取该 Key 对应的 Hash 锁。
-    *   保证了同一 Key 的强一致性。
-*   **Shard Locks**:
-    *   仅在访问 Index 映射表时短暂持有，IO 操作在 Index 锁之外进行。
-*   **Atomic Offset**:
-    *   文件追加写操作使用 `atomic.AddInt64`，无需全局锁。
+### 2.3 查询引擎 (Query Engine)
+*   **Early Termination**: 支持 `LIMIT` 下推。一旦扫描满足数量，立即停止 IO 和遍历。
+*   **Lazy Loading**: 仅在必要时（如过滤 Value 或返回结果）才从磁盘读取 Value。
 
 ## 3. 性能测试报告 (Benchmark Report)

-*   **初始写入 (100k items)**: DB Size **3.91 MB**
-*   **更新后 (10k updates)**: DB Size **4.33 MB** (仅少量增长，部分原地更新)
-*   **删除后 (10k deletes)**: DB Size **4.61 MB** (文件大小不变，产生空洞)
-*   **复用写入 (5k reuse)**: DB Size **4.61 MB** (完全复用空洞，**文件大小零增长**)
+### 3.2 查询性能 (Query Performance)
 
-**结论**: FreeList 机制有效工作，长时间运行后数据库文件大小将趋于稳定，不会无限膨胀。

-
-1.  **初始版本**: 全局互斥锁，性能瓶颈明显 (~15k QPS)。
-2.  **V1 优化**: 引入 `KeyMap` 和 `Index` 分片，去除文件 IO 全局锁，使用 `pwrite`/`pread`。QPS 提升至 ~49k。
-3.  **V2 安全加固**: 引入 `StripedLock` (Key级锁) 解决并发写冲突和脏读问题。在保证安全的前提下，Update/Delete 性能进一步提升至 100k+ QPS。
+## 5. 优化路线图 (Roadmap)
 
+目前的版本在 Key 操作上已经达到了极致。下一步的优化方向：
+1.  **并发 Radix Tree**: 引入 `ART` (Adaptive Radix Tree) 或实现并发安全的 Radix Tree (CoW 或 Fine-grained locks) 以支持更高的并发读。
+2.  **全文索引集成**: 将 `FullTextIndex` 深度集成到 `Query` 流程中，解决 `value like` 查询慢的问题。
