Features

• Embedded Databases - Provides a high-performance storage engine that runs within the application process without a separate server.
• Log-Structured Merge-Trees - Employs a log-structured merge-tree architecture to optimize write throughput and read performance.
• Database Atomic Batches - Group multiple mutations into a single batch to ensure they are applied as one indivisible unit in the project.
• Custom Key Ordering - Specify a custom comparison function to determine how keys are sorted and stored in the project.
• Storage Compaction Utilities - Performs background multi-level compaction to merge sorted files and reclaim disk space.
• Data Iterators - Provides sequential iterators for traversing stored entries in forward or backward order.
• Database Key Scanning - Implements key range scanning to iterate over dataset entries between two boundaries.
• Sorted String Tables - Stores data in sorted immutable tables (SSTables) to enable efficient binary search lookups.
• Key-Value Store Iterators - Traverse the project dataset in forward and backward directions to process keys and values in sequence.
• Sorted - Maintains entries in a specific sequence using custom comparison functions for efficient range scans.
• Persistent Storage Engines - Provides a low-level system for managing disk data with atomic batches, snapshots, and background compaction.
• Key-Value - Provides a persistent, embedded key-value store mapping byte arrays to values.
• Log-Structured Merge-Trees - Utilizes a log-structured merge-tree architecture to provide fast, ordered mapping of keys to values.
• Write-Ahead Logging - Implements write-ahead logging to record every mutation for durability and crash recovery.
• Sorted Data Management - Maintains keys in a sorted sequence using comparison functions for efficient range scans.
• Sorted Memory Buffers - Buffers recent writes in a sorted MemTable before flushing them to immutable disk tables.
• Batch Data Operations - Provides batch write operations to improve throughput and maintain atomic consistency.
• Write Throughput Optimizations - Uses atomic batches and asynchronous writes to handle large volumes of data updates efficiently.
• Point-In-Time Snapshots - Generates consistent point-in-time snapshots to allow reads without interference from concurrent updates.
• Data Compression - Compresses and decompresses data to balance processing performance with disk space reduction.
• Data Compression Algorithms - Reduces the disk space footprint by automatically compressing stored data.
• Caching and Performance - Accelerates data retrieval using block-based caching and filtered lookup policies to reduce disk reads.
• Write Persistence Guarantees - Allows choosing between asynchronous writes for performance and synchronous writes to ensure data durability.
• Atomic Transaction Execution - Supports grouping multiple mutations into a single atomic batch to ensure data consistency.
• Data Recovery - Reconstructs state after failures by processing manifest files and log chunks.
• File Storage Management - Identifies and deletes stale log and table files that are no longer referenced by the current state.
• In-Memory Caches - Implements block-based caching to reduce disk read operations and accelerate data retrieval.
• Persistent Application State - Saves application state to disk with support for snapshots and crash recovery.
• Data Integrity - Uses cyclic redundancy checks to validate data blocks and detect corruption during disk I/O.
• File System Abstractions - Decouples the storage engine from the operating system using an abstract file system interface.
• Database Systems - Fast key-value storage library for ordered string mappings.
• Databases - Fast key-value storage library.
• Databases and Data - Fast key-value storage library.
• Storage Systems - Fast key-value storage library for embedded use.
