This is a part of a larger system which requires versioning of data. So there is a requirement of reading the data as of timestamp T. The sqlite is supposed to be metadata of that large data. Since the larger data itself is versioned I need metadata to be versioned.

Some of the use-cases are mentioned at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32629548

Ah cool. We are defaulting to using sqlite for storing metadata too.

Happy to chat and exchange notes - my email is in the profile.
