On Windows two tests fail that use MockTable: flush_job_test and compaction_job_test with the following message: compaction_job_test_je.exe : Assertion failed: result.size() == 4, file c:\dev\rocksdb\rocksdb\table\mock_table.cc, line 110 Investigation reveals that this failure occurs when a 4 byte ID written to a beginning of the physically open file (main contents remains in a in-memory map) can not be read back. The reason for the failure is that the ID is written directly to a WritableFile bypassing WritableFileWriter. The side effect of that is that pending_sync_ never becomes true so the file is never flushed, however, the direct cause of the failure is that the filesize_ member of the WritableFileWriter remains zero. At Close() the file is truncated to that size and the file becomes empty so the ID can not be read back.
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.
