Multiple node processes support with a single datastore file

I was running two node servers, each on different ports, but both reading and writing to the same persistent datastore file. It looks like each node process is reading its own copy of the doc from the file.

For example, node process one creates the first record below, and second node process creates the second record. The dump of the data file contains both record, but each process can only read one that has been created by itself.

I wish this had been clearly described in the initial README. Wasted a lot of time implementing a solution with this before realizing this major issue.

Recently I struggled with this problem and came up with a solution that is similar to nedb-party but a bit more robust: https://github.com/vangelov/nedb-multi, hope it helps someone.
