Does it mean that it can guarantee that an entry will be saved on disk if the insertion function returned ok?
How will it behave in the presence of always active clients?
It’s impossible to postpone shutdown indefinitely.

As far as I know nothing in Elixir that writes to the disk can give you that level of guarantee:
As per Erlang docs :
delayed_write
The same as {delayed_write, Size, Delay} with reasonable default values for Size and Delay (roughly some 64 KB, 2 seconds).
I would love to be proved wrong

Thank you for insights!
I tried to look into the sources of tab2file but didn’t have enough patience to dig deep down into what they’re using there for file manipulation 
I just saw that they’re using message passing and that was enough for me to understand that there will definitely be overhead.
