Summary: Useful in some places for object uniqueness across processes. Currently used for generating a host-wide identifier of Cache objects but expected to be used soon in some unique id generation code. `int64_t` is chosen for return type because POSIX uses signed integer type, usually `int`, for `pid_t` and Windows uses `DWORD`, which is `uint32_t`. Future work: avoid copy-pasted declarations in port_*.h, perhaps with port_common.h always included from port.h Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8693 Test Plan: manual for now Reviewed By: ajkr, anand1976 Differential Revision: D30492876 Pulled By: pdillinger fbshipit-source-id: 39fc2788623cc9f4787866bdb67a4d183dde7eef
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 especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
