KVDB

NOTE: This repository is under heavy development and is not suitable for general production use yet. Do not use!

An implementation of a subset of the redis command set backed persistently by FoundationDB.

Note that the name KVDB is temporary.

Local Development

Ensure you have go, just, and the foundation clients installed (you must use fdb version 7.3.63).

Then, run just install-tools once to ensure you have the local go tooling you need.

You may then stand up and tear down the local dev dependencies with:

# runs local dependencies in docker
just up

# cleans up when you're done developing
just down

You can then run any of the following:

# show all supported commands
just --list

# run the linter and all tests
just

# run the database (you can also launch it in the debugger in vs code)
just run kvdb run

# open a local shell to the fdb database
just fdbcli

For instance, in one shell, you could run just run kvdb run, then in another, you could do:

redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> auth admin admin
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> set hello world
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> get hello
"world"
127.0.0.1:6379> ACL SETUSER newusername on >password123
OK

Keyspace Layout

FoundationDB provides strictly serializable transactions atop an ordered key-value store. The design of our key directory layout for redis is the following:

Path	Description
redis_v0/*	All data related to the redis implementation atop foundationdb (if we implement other wire protocols in the future, we will also give them their own directory)
redis_v0/_admin_user_initialized	Whether or not an admin user has been created on the cluster via the CLI and env vars
redis_v0/_user/<username>	The directory of user protobuf objects, stored by username
redis_v0/<user_id>/*	Data for an individual redis user
redis_v0/<user_id>/meta/<obj_id>	Metadata protobuf object for bookkeeping of stored object blobs
redis_v0/<user_id>/obj/<obj_id>	Storage of data objects
redis_v0/<user_id>/list/<list_id>	Metadata protobuf for information on each list
redis_v0/<user_id>/list/<list_id>/<item_id>	Metadata protobuf for information on each item in a list
redis_v0/<user_id>/zset/<set_id>	Stores an ordered list of item scores for ordered sets
