RocksServer: A Server for RocksDB

RocksServer supports the following operations:

• Get a value or multiple values by key or keys
• Set a value or multiple values by key or keys
• Delete key or keys from the database
• Check if a key exists
• Increment a value by key
• Iterate over key-value pairs by key prefix
• Iterate over key-value pairs by seek key or key prefix

For more details, see: protocol description

Dependency

RocksServer depends on RocksDB and LibEvent.

The compiler should support C++11.

Install & Run

First, install RocksDB dependencies:

sudo apt install libgflags-dev libsnappy-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblz4-dev libzstd-dev

Then clone the repository:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/valmat/RocksServer
cd RocksServer

Or:

git clone https://github.com/valmat/RocksServer
cd RocksServer
git submodule update --init

After that, compile the dependencies:

./deps/make.sh

Compile the server:

cd src
make

Then, edit config.ini and run:

./RocksServer.bin config.ini

Alternatively, you can install it:

Switch to root and run:

make install

Usage

Examples of usage:

• PHP driver
• Dlang driver (Dub package)
• Node.js driver

You can also implement your own client based on the protocol description.

How to Extend

To extend RocksServer, you should first implement your own request listener by implementing the following interface:

template<typename ProtIn, typename ProtOut>
struct RequestBase: public RequestSuperBase
{
    virtual void run(const ProtIn &, const ProtOut &) = 0;
};

Example:

RequestPing.h

struct RequestPing : public RequestBase<ProtocolInTrivial, ProtocolOut>
{
    virtual void run(const ProtocolInTrivial &in, const ProtocolOut &out) override
    {
        out.setStr("pong");
    }
};

Then, implement a plugin:

smpl_plug.cpp

#include <rocksserver/api.h>
#include "RequestPing.h"

PLUGIN(Extension &extension)
{
    extension.bind("/ping", new RequestPing());
}

Compile your plugin:

g++ -I. -I"/usr/include/rocksserver/include" -Wall -O3 -std=c++11 -fPIC -c smpl_plug.cpp -o smpl_plug.o
g++ -Wall -std=c++11 -O3 -shared smpl_plug.o -o smpl_plug.so

Copy it to /usr/lib/rocksserver/plugins:

cp -f smpl_plug.so /usr/lib/rocksserver/plugins/smpl_plug.so

Restart RocksServer. See this example for how to extend RocksServer.

How to Customize

To customize RocksServer, edit config.ini.
