I'm working on a data-sink of sorts that is eventually to be used for Key-Value object streams in nodejs.I've stumbled across duplex streams and started playing with them a bit to get my feet wet, but everything I try seems to not work.At present, I've got this duplex stream:``` class StorageStream extends stream.Duplex { constructor() { super({ objectMode: true })this.values = new Map(); this.entries = this.values.entries(); }_write(data, encoding, next) { const { key, value } = data;this.values.set(key, value); next(); }_read() { const next = this.entries.next();if (next.value) { this.push(next.value); } } } ```This is a SUPER CONTRIVED example, but essentially, when I write to this stream it should store the key and value in the Map, and when I read from this stream it should start reading from the map and passing them down the stream. However, this doesn't work, doing basically the below``` const kvstream = createKVStreamSomeHow(); // a basic, readable stream with KV Pairsconst logger = createLoggerStreamSomeHow(); // writable stream, logs the data coming throughconst storage = new StorageStream();kvstream.pipe(storage).pipe(logger); ```causes the process to just end. So I guess I'm just a bit confused as to what I'm supposed to be doing inside of the _read method.
