ToplingDB is developed and maintained by Topling Inc. It is built with RocksDB. See ToplingDB Branch Name Convention.
ToplingDB's submodule rockside is the entry point of ToplingDB, see SidePlugin wiki.
ToplingDB has much more key features than RocksDB:
- SidePlugin enables users to write a json(or yaml) to define DB configs
- Embeded Http Server enables users to view almost all DB info on web, this is a component of SidePlugin
- Embeded Http Server enables users to online change db/cf options and all db meta objects(such as MemTabFactory, TableFactory, WriteBufferManager ...) without restart the running process
- Many improves and refactories on RocksDB, aimed for performance and extendibility
- Topling transaction lock management, 5x faster than rocksdb
- MultiGet with concurrent IO by fiber/coroutine + io_uring, much faster than RocksDB's async MultiGet
- Topling de-virtualization, de-virtualize hotspot (virtual) functions, and key prefix caches, bechmarks
- Topling zero copy for point search(Get/MultiGet) and Iterator
- Builtin SidePlugins for existing RocksDB components(Cache, Comparator, TableFactory, MemTableFactory...)
- Builtin Prometheus metrics support, this is based on Embeded Http Server
- Many bugfixes for RocksDB, a small part of such fixes was Pull Requested to upstream RocksDB
- MyTopling(MySQL on ToplingDB), Managed MyTopling on aliyun
- Todis(Redis on ToplingDB), Managed Todis on aliyun
With SidePlugin mechanics, plugins/components can be physically seperated from core toplingdb
- Can be compiled to a seperated dynamic lib and loaded at runtime
- User code need not any changes, just change json/yaml files
- Topling's non-open-source enterprise plugins/components are delivered in this way

\_ tools/dcompact (dcompact-worker binary app)| Repository | Permission | Description (and components) |
|---|---|---|
| ToplingDB | public | Top repositry, forked from RocksDB with our fixes, refactories and enhancements |
| rockside | public | This is a submodule, contains:
|
| cspp-wbwi (WriteBatchWithIndex) |
public | With CSPP and carefully coding, CSPP_WBWI is 20x faster than rocksdb SkipList based WBWI |
| cspp-memtable | public | (CSPP is Crash Safe Parallel Patricia trie) MemTab, which outperforms SkipList on all aspects: 3x lower memory usage, 7x single thread performance, perfect multi-thread scaling) |
| topling-sst | public | 1. SingleFastTable(designed for L0 and L1) 2. VecAutoSortTable(designed for MyTopling bulk_load). 3. Deprecated ToplingFastTable, CSPPAutoSortTable |
| topling-dcompact | public | Distributed Compaction with general dcompact_worker application, offload compactions to elastic computing clusters, much more powerful than RocksDB's Remote Compaction |
| topling-rocks | private | ToplingZipTable, an SST implementation optimized for RAM and SSD space, aimed for L2+ level compaction, which uses topling dedicated searchable in-memory data compression algorithms |
| topling-zip_table_reader | public | For read ToplingZipTable by community users, builder of ToplingZipTable is in topling-rocks |
To simplify the compiling, repos are auto cloned in ToplingDB's Makefile, community users will auto clone public repo successfully but fail to auto clone private repo, thus ToplingDB is built without private components, this is so called community version.
ToplingDB requires C++17, gcc 8.3 or newer is recommended, clang also works.
Even without ToplingZipTable, ToplingDB is much faster than upstream RocksDB:
sudo yum -y install git libaio-devel gcc-c++ gflags-devel zlib-devel bzip2-devel libcurl-devel liburing-devel
git clone https://github.com/topling/toplingdb
cd toplingdb
make -j`nproc` db_bench DEBUG_LEVEL=0
cp sideplugin/rockside/src/topling/web/{style.css,index.html} ${/path/to/dbdir}
cp sideplugin/rockside/sample-conf/db_bench_*.yaml .
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`find sideplugin -name lib_shared`
# change db_bench_community.yaml as your needs
# 1. use default path(/dev/shm) if you have no fast disk(such as a cloud server)
# 2. change max_background_compactions to your cpu core num
# 3. if you have github repo topling-rocks permissions, you can use db_bench_enterprise.yaml
# 4. use db_bench_community.yaml is faster than upstream RocksDB
# 5. use db_bench_enterprise.yaml is much faster than db_bench_community.yaml
# command option -json can accept json and yaml files, here use yaml file for more human readable
./db_bench -json=db_bench_community.yaml -num=10000000 -disable_wal=true -value_size=20 -benchmarks=fillrandom,readrandom -batch_size=10
# you can access http://127.0.0.1:2011 to see webview
# you can see this db_bench is much faster than RocksDBFor performance and simplicity, ToplingDB disabled some RocksDB features by default:
| Feature | Control MACRO |
|---|---|
| Dynamic creation of ColumnFamily | ROCKSDB_DYNAMIC_CREATE_CF |
| User level timestamp on key | TOPLINGDB_WITH_TIMESTAMP |
| Wide Columns | TOPLINGDB_WITH_WIDE_COLUMNS |
Note: Dynamic creation of ColumnFamily is not supported by SidePlugin
To enable these features, add -D${MACRO_NAME} to var EXTRA_CXXFLAGS, such as build ToplingDB for java with dynamic ColumnFamily:
make -j`nproc` EXTRA_CXXFLAGS='-DROCKSDB_DYNAMIC_CREATE_CF' rocksdbjava

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 especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
