- To give ability to write a small, drastically simplified Chronicle Map implementation in Java,

for a specific use-case. It could hard-code many aspects, which the reference implementation have
|
||||
to handle as abstractions, that is harder for JVM to execute efficiently. Another way of improving
|

performance is weakening guarantees, implied by the specification and the reference implementation.

As Chronicle Map is designed for concurrent inter-process access, performance-critical operations

on a Chronicle Map instance could be done from a C++ process, while a concurrent Java process

is doing some duty tasks such as backup to a rational database.
