Badger backend support

[ondrej-smola]

Would you be open for a contribution that adds support for Badger.

Sure, looks cool to me

@ondrej-smola TIL! This looks like a very nice alternative to BoltDB! Looks good to me.

I'm using Badger and currently looking to migrate to a KV interface for stronger consistency with other KV used across the stack, such as Redis. Anything missing for migrating is support for Badger.

Any chance to see Badger supported soon?

Hello,

Valkerie has been split into different modules:

• the core module interface
• one module by store:
  • boltdb
  • consul
  • dynamodb
  • etcdv2
  • etcdv3
  • redis
  • zookeeper

Feel free to create your own implementation for Badger (maybe based on #23).

To create your repo, you can use our repo template based on the following repo template: https://github.com/kvtools/template

The documentation about GitHub repo templates is here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template

If you create and test implementation for Badger, you can ask to transfer your repo to the kvtools organization by creating a new issue and become a maintainer of this module inside our organization.

Feel free to base the new module in this work #23 it was almost if not ready to go.

Indeed I think the work from @ondrej-smola on Badger could be carried into a new PR (keeping the authorship on the original commit to mention Ondřej would be a nice gesture though).
