Oxia Python Client SDK

Python client for Oxia, a scalable metadata store and coordination system for large-scale distributed systems.

Getting Started | Documentation | Discussion

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

Installation

pip install oxia

Quick start

import oxia

with oxia.Client('localhost:6648') as client:
    # Put a value
    key, version = client.put('/my-key', b'my-value')

    # Get it back
    key, value, version = client.get('/my-key')

    # Conditional put (only if version matches)
    key, version = client.put('/my-key', b'new-value',
                              expected_version_id=version.version_id())

    # List keys in a range
    keys = client.list('/my-', '/my-~')

    # Delete
    client.delete('/my-key')

Features

• CRUD operations: put, get, delete, delete_range
• Range queries: list (keys only), range_scan (keys + values)
• Conditional writes: version-based optimistic concurrency via expected_version_id
• Ephemeral records: session-scoped keys that are removed when the client disconnects
• Notifications: subscribe to real-time change events
• Sequential keys: server-assigned monotonic key suffixes
• Secondary indexes: additional lookup keys on records
• Partition routing: co-locate related records on the same shard via partition_key
• Floor/Ceiling/Lower/Higher lookups: nearest-key queries
