# RDB - RocksDB Shell
|
|
|
|
RDB is a NodeJS-based shell interface to RocksDB. It can also be used as a
|
|
JavaScript binding for RocksDB within a Node application.
|
|
|
|
## Setup/Compilation
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
* static RocksDB library (i.e. librocksdb.a)
|
|
* libsnappy
|
|
* node (tested onv0.10.33, no guarantees on anything else!)
|
|
* node-gyp
|
|
* python2 (for node-gyp; tested with 2.7.8)
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If your default `python` binary is not a version of python2, add
|
|
the arguments `--python /path/to/python2` to the `node-gyp` commands.
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have the static library (i.e. "librocksdb.a") in the root
|
|
directory of your rocksdb installation. If not, `cd` there and run
|
|
`make static_lib`.
|
|
|
|
2. Run `node-gyp configure` to generate the build.
|
|
|
|
3. Run `node-gyp build` to compile RDB.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Running the shell
|
|
|
|
Assuming everything compiled correctly, you can run the `rdb` executable
|
|
located in the root of the `tools/rdb` directory to start the shell. The file is
|
|
just a shell script that runs the node shell and loads the constructor for the
|
|
RDB object into the top-level function `RDB`.
|
|
|
|
### JavaScript API
|
|
|
|
See `API.md` for how to use RocksDB from the shell.
