Summary: Problem: During RocksJava performance testing we found that the rocksdb jni library is not built with jemalloc; instead it was getting built with the default glibc malloc. We saw quite a bit of memory bloat due to this. Addressed this by installing jemalloc-devel package in the vm that we use to build release jars. Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2916 Differential Revision: D5887018 Pulled By: sagar0 fbshipit-source-id: ace0b5d60234b3a30dcd5d39633e7827a5982a50
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.
