in 64-bit. Currently, a signed off_t type is being used for the following interfaces for both offset and the length in bytes: * `Allocate` * `RangeSync` On Linux `off_t` is automatically either 32 or 64-bit depending on the platform. On Windows it is always a 32-bit signed long which limits file access and in particular space pre-allocation to effectively 2 Gb. Proposal is to replace off_t with uint64_t as a portable type always access files with 64-bit interfaces. May need to modify posix code but lack resources to test it.
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.
