EMDB
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
EMDB is a NIF library for the [Memory-Mapped Database](http://highlandsun.com/hyc/mdb/) database, aka. MDB.
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of this package is to provide a **very fast** Riak [backend](http://wiki.basho.com/Storage-Backends.html).
|
|
|
|
But this module could also be used as a general key-value store to replace:
|
|
|
|
* [DETS](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/dets.html)
|
|
* TokyoCabinet: [TCERL](http://code.google.com/p/tcerl/)
|
|
* [QDBM](http://fallabs.com/qdbm/)
|
|
* [Bitcask](https://github.com/basho/bitcask)
|
|
* [eLevelDB](https://github.com/basho/eleveldb)
|
|
* [BerkleyDB](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/berkeleydb/overview/index.html)
|
|
* ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
* Erlang R14B04+
|
|
* GCC 4.2+ or MS VisualStudio 2010+
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build
|
|

|
|
$ make
|

|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The following functions were implemented:
|
|
|
|
* `open/1`: equivalent to `emdb:open(DirName, 10485760)`.
|
|
* `open/1`: equivalent to `emdb:open(DirName, 10485760, 0)`.
|
|
* `open/3`: creates a new MDB database. This call also re-open an already existing one. Arguments are:
|
|
* DirName: database directory name
|
|
* MapSize: database map size (see [map.hrl](http://gitorious.org/mdb/mdb/blobs/master/libraries/libmdb/mdb.h))
|
|
* EnvFlags: database environment flags (see [map.hrl](http://gitorious.org/mdb/mdb/blobs/master/libraries/libmdb/mdb.h)). The possible values are defined in **emdb.hrl**.
|
|
* `close/2`: closes the database
|
|
* `put/2`: inserts Key with value Val into the database. Assumes that the key is not present, 'key_exit' is returned otherwise.
|
|
* `get/1`: retrieves the value stored with Key in the database.
|
|
* `del/1`: Removes the key-value with key Key from database.
|
|
* `update/2`: inserts Key with value Val into the database if the key is not present, otherwise updates Key to value Val.
|
|
* `drop/1`: deletes all key-value pairs in the database.
|

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
$ ./start.sh
|
|
|
|
%% create a new database
|
|
1> {ok, Handle} = emdb:open("/tmp/emdb1").
|
|
|
|
%% insert the key <<"a">> with value <<"1">>
|
|
2> ok = Handle:put(<<"a">>, <<"1">>).
|
|
|
|
%% try to re-insert the same key <<"a">>
|
|
3> key_exist = Handle:put(<<"a">>, <<"2">>).
|
|
|
|
%% add a new key-value pair
|
|
4> ok = Handle:put(<<"b">>, <<"2">>).
|
|
|
|
%% search a non-existing key <<"c">>
|
|
5> none = Handle:get(<<"c">>).
|
|
|
|
%% retrieve the value for key <<"b">>
|
|
6> {ok, <<"2">>} = Handle:get(<<"b">>).
|
|
|
|
%% retrieve the value for key <<"a">>
|
|
7> {ok, <<"1">>} = Handle:get(<<"a">>).
|
|
|
|
%% delete key <<"b">>
|
|
8> ok = Handle:del(<<"b">>).
|
|
|
|
%% search a non-existing key <<"b">>
|
|
9> none = Handle:get(<<"b">>).
|
|
|
|
%% delete a non-existing key <<"z">>
|
|
10> none = Handle:del(<<"z">>).
|
|
|
|
11> {ok, <<"1">>} = Handle:get(<<"a">>).
|
|
%% update the value for key <<"a">>
|
|
12> ok = Handle:update(<<"a">>, <<"7">>).
|
|
|
|
%% check the new value for key <<"a">>
|
|
13> {ok, <<"7">>} = Handle:get(<<"a">>).
|
|
|
|
%% delete all key-value pairs in the database
|
|
14> ok = Handle:drop().
|
|
|
|
%% try to retrieve key <<"a">> value
|
|
15> none = Handle:get(<<"a">>).
|
|
|
|
%% close the database
|
|
16> ok = Handle:close().
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
17> q().
|

|
|
####Note:
|
|
This code below create a new database with **80GB** MapSize, **avoid fsync**
|
|
after each commit (for max speed) and use the experimental **MDB_FIXEDMAP**.
|
|
|
|
{ok, Handle} = emdb:open("/tmp/emdb2", 85899345920, ?MDB_NOSYNC bor ?MDB_FIXEDMAP).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
For maximum speed, this library use only binaries for both keys and values.
|
|
|
|
See the impressive [microbench](http://highlandsun.com/hyc/mdb/microbench/) against:
|
|
|
|
* Google's LevelDB
|
|
* SQLite
|
|
* Kyoto TreeDB
|
|
* BerkeleyDB
|
|
|
|
MDB performs better on 64-bit arch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported OSes
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Should work on 32/64-bit architectures:
|
|
|
|
* Linux
|
|
* OSX
|
|
* FreeBSD
|
|
* Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
TODO
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
* Unit tests
|
|
* PropEr testing
|
|
* Bulk "writing"
|
|
|
|
Volunteers are always welcome!
