ITS#8038 (syncrepl hanging onto its presentlist) only came to my attention due to the amount of memory involved. On a refresh of a DB with 2.8M entries I saw the consumer using about 320MB just for the presentlist. This list consists solely of 16 byte entryUUIDs; 2.8M items should have used no more than 48MB. An AVL node itself is 28 bytes on 64-bit platform, plus 16 bytes for the struct berval wrapped around the UUID.
I'm looking into adding an in-memory B+tree library to liblutil. For the type of fixed-size records we're usually storing in AVL trees, a Btree will be much more compact and higher performance since it will need rebalancing far less frequently.
Why using a B+tree ? A hash map wouldn't be a more appropriate data structure ? EntryUUID ordering seems overkilling...
