Funny, I was just reading how Matthew Dillon intends to change from using
btree in Hammer 1 to something else in Hammer 2:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/sys/vfs/hammer2/DESIGN
(via http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/2014/03/18/13651.html)

I don't pretend to understand the implications or pretty much anything
in that design document, just thought you might find it interesting.
