Summary: The persistent cache is designed to hop over errors and return key not found. So far, it has shown resilience to write errors, encoding errors, data corruption etc. It is not resilient against disappearing files/directories. This was exposed during testing when multiple instances of persistence cache was started sharing the same directory simulating an unpredictable filesystem environment. This patch - makes the write code path more resilient to errors while creating files - makes the read code path more resilient to handle situation where files are not found - added a test that does negative write/read testing by removing the directory while writes are in progress Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/1472 Differential Revision: D4143413 Pulled By: kradhakrishnan fbshipit-source-id: fd25e9b
RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
