rust-rocksdb

This library has been tested against RocksDB 3.8.1 on linux and OSX. The 0.0.6 crate should work with the Rust nightly release as of 7/12/15.

status

• basic open/put/get/delete/close
• linux support
• rocksdb compiled via cargo
• OSX support
• rustic merge operator
• compaction filter, style
• LRU cache
• destroy/repair
• write batch (thanks @dgrnbrg!)
• create/release snapshot
• iterator
• column family operations
• comparator
• 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

[dependencies]
rocksdb = "~0.0.6"

Code

extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::RocksDB;

fn main() {
    let db = RocksDB::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");
    db.close();
}

Rustic Merge Operator

extern crate rocksdb;
use rocksdb::{RocksDBOptions, RocksDB, MergeOperands};

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| { result.extend(v) });
    for op in operands {
        result.extend(op);
    }
    result
}

fn main() {
    let path = "/path/to/rocksdb";
    let opts = RocksDBOptions::new();
    opts.create_if_missing(true);
    opts.add_merge_operator("test operator", concat_merge);
    let db = RocksDB::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");
    db.close();
}

Apply Some Tunings

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