It was developed at +Facebook based on LevelDB and provides backwards-compatible support +for LevelDB APIs. + +RocksDB is optimized for Flash with extremely low latencies. RocksDB +uses a Log Structured Database Engine for storage, written entirely in +C++. A Java version called RocksJava is currently in development. + +RocksDB features highly flexible configuration settings that may be +tuned to run on a variety of production environments, including pure +memory, Flash, hard disks or HDFS. It supports various compression +algorithms and good tools for production support and debugging. + +Features: +- Designed for application servers wanting to store up to a few + terabytes of data on locally attached Flash drives or in RAM +- Optimized for storing small to medium size key-values on fast + storage -- flash devices or in-memory +- Scales linearly with number of CPUs so that it works well on + processors with many cores + +Build Options: +- BUILD_TYPE=(all|lite|UNSET): if unset the default librocksdb will + build; set it to lite to build only librocksdb_lite; if it is set to + all, it will build both librocksdb and librocksdb_lite. + Default is unset. +- ENABLE_STATIC=(yes|no): Deploy static library besides shared. + Default is no. +- INSTALL_TOOLS=(yes|no): Deploy administration tools. + Default is yes. |
