A library that provides an embeddable, persistent key-value store for fast storage.
9b50106f9a
Summary: Create a new type of file on startup if it doesn't already exist called DBID. This will store a unique number generated from boost library's uuid header file. The use-case is to identify the case of a db losing all its data and coming back up either empty or from an image(backup/live replica's recovery) the key point to note is that DBID is not stored in a backup or db snapshot It's preferable to use Boost for uuid because: 1) A non-standard way of generating uuid is not good 2) /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid generates a uuid but only on linux environments and the solution would not be clean 3) c++ doesn't have any direct way to get a uuid 4) Boost is a very good library that was already having linkage in rocksdb from third-party Note: I had to update the TOOLCHAIN_REV in build files to get latest verison of boost from third-party as the older version had a bug. I had to put Wno-uninitialized in Makefile because boost-1.51 has an unitialized variable and rocksdb would not comiple otherwise. Latet open-source for boost is 1.54 but is not there in third-party. I have notified the concerned people in fbcode about it. @kailiu : While releasing to third-party, an additional dependency will need to be created for boost in TARGETS file. I can help identify. Test Plan: Expand db_test to test 2 cases 1) Restarting db with Id file present - verify that no change to Id 2)Restarting db with Id file deleted - verify that a different Id is there after reopen Also run make all check Reviewers: dhruba, haobo, kailiu, sdong Reviewed By: dhruba CC: leveldb Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D13587 |

rocksdb: A persistent key-value store for flash storage
Authors: * The Facebook Database Engineering Team
* Build 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-Stuctured-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.
The core of this code has been derived from open-source leveldb.
The code under this directory implements a system for maintaining a
persistent key/value store.
See doc/index.html for more explanation.
See doc/impl.html for a brief overview of the implementation.
The public interface is in include/*. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
Guide to header files:
include/rocksdb/db.h
Main interface to the DB: Start here
include/rocksdb/options.h
Control over the behavior of an entire database, and also
control over the behavior of individual reads and writes.
include/rocksdb/comparator.h
Abstraction for user-specified comparison function. If you want
just bytewise comparison of keys, you can use the default comparator,
but clients can write their own comparator implementations if they
want custom ordering (e.g. to handle different character
encodings, etc.)
include/rocksdb/iterator.h
Interface for iterating over data. You can get an iterator
from a DB object.
include/rocksdb/write_batch.h
Interface for atomically applying multiple updates to a database.
include/rocksdb/slice.h
A simple module for maintaining a pointer and a length into some
other byte array.
include/rocksdb/status.h
Status is returned from many of the public interfaces and is used
to report success and various kinds of errors.
include/rocksdb/env.h
Abstraction of the OS environment. A posix implementation of
this interface is in util/env_posix.cc
include/rocksdb/table_builder.h
Lower-level modules that most clients probably won't use directly
include/rocksdb/cache.h
An API for the block cache.
include/rocksdb/compaction_filter.h
An API for a application filter invoked on every compaction.
include/rocksdb/filter_policy.h
An API for configuring a bloom filter.
include/rocksdb/memtablerep.h
An API for implementing a memtable.
include/rocksdb/statistics.h
An API to retrieve various database statistics.
include/rocksdb/transaction_log.h
An API to retrieve transaction logs from a database.
