      Epic Goal

      • Very early renditions of Podman supported both boltdb and sqlite.  The sqlite implemented was dropped before Podman 1. Our goal is to re-implement the SQLite db interface.

      Why is this important?

      • a customer/partner has discovered a way to corrupt the boltdb during power loss testing.  this renders podman useless and requires manual setup to make almost any podman command work again.
      • the above is a known bug for four years
      • upstream boltdb is nearly inactive
      • boltdb has no error handling; it throws a panic instead.  this is bad.
      • sqlite offers some possible performance opportunities
      • sqlite has better r/rw locking and locking algorithms
