Hi Rick,

Not, not yet. I may add a feature in the future that looks like:

["snapshot", <time-to-live>]
=> <snap-label>

["on-snapshot" <snap-label> <query-1>]
=> <query-1-result>

["on-snapshot" <snap-label> <query-2-based-on-query-1-result>]
=> <query-2 result>

Once again, Clojure's persistent data structures to the rescue!

Also, would you be willing to describe a little more what type of
joins you'de like to be able to do in FleetDB?

The OS will swap to disk. The current version of FleetDB is designed
for datasets that fit in RAM. I'll be adding a FAQ page soon that
addressees this question in more detail, as it comes up a lot.
