A library that provides an embeddable, persistent key-value store for fast storage.
9d9d2965cb
Summary:
= Major Changes =
* Add a new mem-table representation, HashCuckooRep, which is based cuckoo hash.
Cuckoo hash uses multiple hash functions. This allows each key to have multiple
possible locations in the mem-table.
- Put: When insert a key, it will try to find whether one of its possible
locations is vacant and store the key. If none of its possible
locations are available, then it will kick out a victim key and
store at that location. The kicked-out victim key will then be
stored at a vacant space of its possible locations or kick-out
another victim. In this diff, the kick-out path (known as
cuckoo-path) is found using BFS, which guarantees to be the shortest.
- Get: Simply tries all possible locations of a key --- this guarantees
worst-case constant time complexity.
- Time complexity: O(1) for Get, and average O(1) for Put if the
fullness of the mem-table is below 80%.
- Default using two hash functions, the number of hash functions used
by the cuckoo-hash may dynamically increase if it fails to find a
short-enough kick-out path.
- Currently, HashCuckooRep does not support iteration and snapshots,
as our current main purpose of this is to optimize point access.
= Minor Changes =
* Add IsSnapshotSupported() to DB to indicate whether the current DB
supports snapshots. If it returns false, then DB::GetSnapshot() will
always return nullptr.
Test Plan:
Run existing tests. Will develop a test specifically for cuckoo hash in
the next diff.

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-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.
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 and github wiki (https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki)
for more explanation.
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.
