SLoC
A K.I.S.S. implementation of log-structured merge trees (LSM-trees/LSMTs) in Rust.
This crate only provides a primitive LSM-tree, not a full storage engine. For example, it does not ship with a write-ahead log. You probably want to use https://github.com/fjall-rs/fjall instead.
About
This is the most feature-rich LSM-tree implementation in Rust! It features:
- Thread-safe BTreeMap-like API
- 100% safe & stable Rust
- Block-based tables with compression support
- Range & prefix searching with forward and reverse iteration
- Size-tiered, (concurrent) Leveled and FIFO compaction
- Multi-threaded flushing (immutable/sealed memtables)
- Partitioned block index to reduce memory footprint and keep startup time short [1]
- Block caching to keep hot data in memory
- Bloom filters to increase point lookup performance
- Snapshots (MVCC)
- Key-value separation (optional) [2]
- Single deletion tombstones ("weak" deletion)
Keys are limited to 65536 bytes, values are limited to 2^32 bytes. As is normal with any kind of storage engine, larger keys and values have a bigger performance impact.
Feature flags
lz4
Allows using LZ4
compression, powered by lz4_flex
.
Disabled by default.
miniz
Allows using DEFLATE/zlib
compression, powered by miniz_oxide
.
Disabled by default.
bytes
Uses bytes
as the underlying Slice
type.
Disabled by default.
Stable disk format
The disk format is stable as of 1.0.0.
2.0.0 uses a new disk format and needs a manual format migration.
Future breaking changes will result in a major version bump and a migration path.
