System prevalence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Prevalence) for Node.js

This is version 0.1-SNAPSHOT and is the first thing I've ever written for Node.js so be aware, most probably here be dragons!

Acknowledgements

The serializer use code from https://github.com/jdknezek/json-ref by Jonathan D. Knezek.

Caveats

  • Prevalance base and aggregates must only contain plain field data. Any function, proto, etc will be lost in time. This is due to snapshot serialization, i.e. it works fine if you never take a snapshot and purely live out of the transaction journals.

  • It's not possible to scale applications (i.e. running multiple instances of Node.js that use the same prevalent system) since the IO lack locking mechanism and a way to report back to other instances that some transaction has been executed.

It would be nice to solve these problems. I've got a few ideas and might just do something about it in the future.
