Summary:
Developing a capability for storing values on external backing file(s).
This is just a highly unoptimized first pass - supports:
1) Allocating some portion of external file to be used to store value
2) Freeing the range, enabling it to be reused by other values
As next steps, I plan to:
1) Create some kind of stress testing. Once I can measure stuff, I can focus on optimizing.
2) Optimize locking.
3) Optimize freelist data structure. Currently we have O(n) for both freeing and allocation.
4) Figure out how to do recovery.
Test Plan: Created a unit test.
