Discussion: how to refactor storage libraries

[rakita]

The structure of storage related libraries are now:

• crates
  • codecs
  • db
  • libmdbx-rs
  • interfaces (Database stuff becomes bigger and bigger, it probably deserves a standalone lib and moving them to the interface was not the greatest idea I though only the abstraction part is going to be here but this does not make a lot of sense now)
    • abstraction traits.
    • tables
    • provider
    • codecs impl

it can be refactored to:

• crates:
  • storage:
    • libmdbx-rs
    • db (This would contains db traits from interfaces, and have a feature flag mdbx)
      • abstraction traits
      • tables
      • providers
      • codecs impl
    • codecs

Additionally, I would move the StageDb from reth-stages to providers to have all database-related operations in the same place.

Supportive - we've talked about this before.

Yep that was my bad.

@brockelmore tried to use the db and had some thoughts too but the proposed structure sgtm.

Was this closed in #371?
