The basic limitation is that it stores everything in memory - it does 
not persists data to the files. So if you restart the application, the 
storage is empty again. Also, since it stores everything in memory, it 
may not scale well for large amounts of data - you may run out of 
memory. In this aspect the b-tree storage is better since it occupies a 
constant amount of memory (i.e. the memory consumed by it does not grow 
with the amount of the metadata stored).
On the other hand the memory storage is faster.
