I replaced boltdb inside etcd with badgerdb. However, from what I discovered, badgerdb did not give a better performance on write operations. Did anyone do someting similar before? Is this an expected behavior? Because from what I understand, badgerdb was supposed to do better in write operations than boltdb.

Could you perhaps share some benchmark details? Perhaps a sample program/repo that I can check out?
