To use LevelDB, follow these steps: 1) In the SConstruct file, change LevelDB = bool(0) to LevelDB = bool(1) 2) Compile with 'scons'. 3) If you have no databases you care about, remove them. Otherwise, start rippled with '--import' to import your existing hashnode database into LevelDB. After you import the hashnode database, either delete (or move) the 'hashnode.db', 'hashnode.db-shm' and 'hashnode.db-wal' files from your database directory. Do not touch the LevelDB files in the 'hashnode' directory.
