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.
-
Make sure you have the static library (i.e. "librocksdb.a") in the root directory of your rocksdb installation. If not,
cd
there and runmake static_lib
. -
Run
node-gyp configure
to generate the build. -
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.
