[platform-core-dev] Persistent data storage support

[Chris Tilt <chris@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I am exploring checkpoints (bug# 36958), where I will store some simple, 
sequential, data in a file. I have seen HistoryStore and HistoryEntry, 
which are overkill for the job.

The basic requirements are append, read at offset, and periodic garbage 
collection of items at the begining of the file (re-write of the file is 
inexpensive).

Are there existing storage mechanisms that I should consider before 
writing a new one?

Thanks, Chris
