I'm a bit confused about how you use this system with immutable keys. At face value it's a great idea, but I need a simple example of how's it is used to say retrieve a piece of data, then later update that to a new value.
Is this anything like how vector clocks are used, where the client uses the clocks to figure out which is the right state in a distributed system?

If you want to update a file, you simply create a new file for your new version, and point clients at it instead of the old version.
