Summary: Forward iterator puts everything together in a flat structure instead of a hierarchy of nested iterators. this should simplify the code and provide better performance. It also enables more optimization since all information are accessiable in one place. Init evaluation shows about 6% improvement Test Plan: db_test and db_bench Reviewers: dhruba, igor, tnovak, sdong, haobo Reviewed By: haobo Subscribers: sdong, leveldb Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D18795
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 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 an 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.
