Albeit, now it makes me wonder how much of the functionality of dolt is possible to be replicated with CockroachDB. The internal data structures of both databases are mostly similar.

You can have infinite point-time-querying by setting the TTL of data to forever.

You have the ability to do distributed BACKUP/IMPORT of data (Which is mostly a file copy, and also includes historical data)

A transaction would be the equivalent of a commit, but I do not think there is a way to list out all transactions on CRDB, so that would have to be done separately.

And gain other benefits, such as distributed querying, and high availability.

I just find interesting that both databases (CockroachDB and Dolt) share the same principal of immutable B-Trees.
