Research direction

Start in boltdb/boltdb.go at the List function linked in the issue. Check how it handles the prefix and determine the behavior when the prefix is empty. Done means callers can retrieve all key-value pairs with an empty prefix while existing prefixed lookups continue to work.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As today the boltdb store provides a function to List the key value pairs by prefix, but it doesn't accept any regular expression. Also, the prefix can't be empty, which means I can't get all the key-value pairs without knowing the prefix for all the keys. I think it would be reasonable to provide a way to retrieve all the key-value pairs by accepting an empty prefix. Any thoughts on this?
