Build Status crates.io

This library has been tested against RocksDB 3.13.1 on linux and OSX. The 0.1.1 crate should work with the Rust 1.2 stable and nightly releases as of 9/7/15.

status

  • basic open/put/get/delete/close
  • rustic merge operator
  • write batch (thanks @dgrnbrg!)
  • compaction filter, style
  • LRU cache
  • destroy/repair
  • iterator
  • comparator
  • snapshot
  • column family operations
  • slicetransform
  • windows support

Feedback and pull requests welcome! If a particular feature of RocksDB is important to you, please let me know by opening an issue, and I'll prioritize it.

Prerequisite: RocksDB

First, use your system's package manager to install snappy. This is optional, but lets rocksdb take advantage of better compression, and some code may require it.

wget https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/archive/rocksdb-3.8.tar.gz
tar xvf rocksdb-3.8.tar.gz && cd rocksdb-rocksdb-3.8 && make shared_lib
sudo make install

Running

Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
rocksdb = "~0.1.1"
Code
extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::{DB, Writable};

fn main() {
    let mut db = DB::open_default("/path/for/rocksdb/storage").unwrap();
    db.put(b"my key", b"my value");
    db.get(b"my key")
        .map( |value| {
            println!("retrieved value {}", value.to_utf8().unwrap())
        })
        .on_absent( || { println!("value not found") })
        .on_error( |e| { println!("operational problem encountered: {}", e) });

    db.delete(b"my key");
}
Doing an atomic commit of several writes
extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::{DB, WriteBatch, Writable};

fn main() {
    // NB: db is automatically freed at end of lifetime
    let mut db = DB::open_default("/path/for/rocksdb/storage").unwrap();
    {
        let mut batch = WriteBatch::new(); // WriteBatch and db both have trait Writable
        batch.put(b"my key", b"my value");
        batch.put(b"key2", b"value2");
        batch.put(b"key3", b"value3");
        db.write(batch); // Atomically commits the batch
    }
}
Getting an Iterator
extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::{DB, Direction};

fn main() {
    // NB: db is automatically freed at end of lifetime
    let mut db = DB::open_default("/path/for/rocksdb/storage").unwrap();
    let mut iter = db.iterator();
    for (key, value) in iter.from_start() { // Always iterates forward
        println!("Saw {} {}", key, value); //actually, need to convert [u8] keys into Strings
    }
    for (key, value) in iter.from_end() { //Always iterates backward
        println!("Saw {} {}", key, value);
    }
    for (key, value) in iter.from(b"my key", Direction::forward) { // From a key in Direction::{forward,reverse}
        println!("Saw {} {}", key, value);
    }
}
Getting an Iterator
extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::{DB, Direction};

fn main() {
    // NB: db is automatically freed at end of lifetime
    let mut db = DB::open_default("/path/for/rocksdb/storage").unwrap();
    let snapshot = db.snapshot(); // Creates a longer-term snapshot of the DB, but freed when goes out of scope
    let mut iter = snapshot.iterator(); // Make as many iterators as you'd like from one snapshot
}
Rustic Merge Operator
extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::{Options, DB, MergeOperands, Writable};

fn concat_merge(new_key: &[u8], existing_val: Option<&[u8]>,
    operands: &mut MergeOperands) -> Vec<u8> {
    let mut result: Vec<u8> = Vec::with_capacity(operands.size_hint().0);
    existing_val.map(|v| {
        for e in v {
            result.push(*e)
        }
    });
    for op in operands {
        for e in op {
            result.push(*e)
        }
    }
    result
}

fn main() {
    let path = "/path/to/rocksdb";
    let mut opts = Options::new();
    opts.create_if_missing(true);
    opts.add_merge_operator("test operator", concat_merge);
    let mut db = DB::open(&opts, path).unwrap();
    let p = db.put(b"k1", b"a");
    db.merge(b"k1", b"b");
    db.merge(b"k1", b"c");
    db.merge(b"k1", b"d");
    db.merge(b"k1", b"efg");
    let r = db.get(b"k1");
    assert!(r.unwrap().to_utf8().unwrap() == "abcdefg");
}
Apply Some Tunings

Please read the official tuning guide, and most importantly, measure performance under realistic workloads with realistic hardware.
