Idea: IPDB - Database

[mkg20001]

(moved from ipfs/ipfs#192)
IPDB Idea:

• local: a database on the client
• public: a database in the network
• Peer: a database shared with a specific Peer
  Blocks:
• public-database
  Contains links to databases and signed change/add requests from Nodes
• database
  Contains links to tables
• table
  Contains Blobs (links to others hashes/files) or Strings/Integers/...

Any App could use /ipdb/APP/local or public to load entrys and execute querys

/ipdb/APP/public/PEER <-- public database of PEER
/ipdb/APP/PEER <-- shared with PEER
/ipdb/APP/local <-- local database

After a table is changed a new table Block is created (or something like "changelogs") by the node and a change request for the public database is created.

An alternative would be a mongoDB like structure instead of tables, which would be easier.
both tables and (whatever they are called in mongoDB) in parralel would be also an idea.

Feel free to comment suggestions, it's just a idea.
Sorry for my bad english.

@bitcard you've been asked to stop a couple times already. You've been given a temporary ban for a few days.

I'm glad you're interested in following the work going on in the community and contributing to the IPFS and libp2p ecosystems. However, these GitHub issues are a shared space that needs to be respected. If you've got any questions on how to appropriately follow work you can just start a discussion thread on discuss.ipfs.io or ask on the IPFS Matrix/IRC channels.
