RocksDB: Persistent key-value store for fast storage

Embedded key-value store for fast storage

 

 

RocksDB is a persistent key-value store for fast storage environments that builds on LevelDB for scalability across multi-core servers. It’s embeddable, but can also be used as the foundation for a client-server database.

The rocksdb library provides a persistent key value store. Keys and values are arbitrary byte arrays. The keys are ordered within the key value store according to a user-specified comparator function.

The library is maintained by the Facebook Database Engineering Team, and is based on leveldb, by Sanjay Ghemawat and Jeff Dean at Google.

This overview gives some simple examples of how RocksDB is used. For the story of why RocksDB was created in the first place, see Dhruba Borthakur's introductory talk from the Data @ Scale 2013 conference.
