rocksdict 0.3.24

Rocksdb Python Binding

RocksDict / SpeeDict

Key-value storage for Python & Wrapper of Rocksdb and Speedb

Installation

Wheels available for macOS amd64/arm64, linux amd64/arm64, and windows amd64.

• pip install rocksdict for rocksdb backend, then from rocksdict import Rdict
• pip install speedict for speedb backend, then from speedict import Rdict

Introduction

This library has two purposes.

1. As an on-disk key-value storage solution for Python.
2. As a RocksDB / Speedict interface.

These two purposes operate in different modes:

• Default mode, which allows storing int, float, bool, str, bytes, and other python objects (with Pickle).

• Raw mode (options=Options(raw_mode=True)), which allows storing only bytes.

Easily inspect RocksDB created by C++, Java, or Other Languages

Since v0.3.24b2.

from rocksdict import Rdict

# This will automatically load latest options and column families.
# Note also that this is automatically RAW MODE,
# as it knows that the db is not created by RocksDict
# (since v0.3.24b2).
db = Rdict("db_path")

# list column families
cfs = Rdict.list_cf("db_path")
print(cfs)

# use one of the column families
cf1 = db.get_column_family(cfs[1])

# iterate through all key-value pairs in cf1
for k, v in cf1.items():
    print(f"{k} -> {v}")

# iterate through all wide columns in cf1
for k, v in cf1.entities():
    print(f"{k} -> {v}")

Examples

A minimal example

from rocksdict import Rdict
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

path = str("./test_dict")

# create a Rdict with default options at `path`
db = Rdict(path)
db[1.0] = 1
db["huge integer"] = 2343546543243564534233536434567543
db["good"] = True
db["bytes"] = b"bytes"
db["this is a list"] = [1, 2, 3]
db["store a dict"] = {0: 1}
db[b"numpy"] = np.array([1, 2, 3])
db["a table"] = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2], "b": [2, 1]})

# reopen Rdict from disk
db.close()
db = Rdict(path)
assert db[1.0] == 1
assert db["huge integer"] == 2343546543243564534233536434567543
assert db["good"] == True
assert db["bytes"] == b"bytes"
assert db["this is a list"] == [1, 2, 3]
assert db["store a dict"] == {0: 1}
assert np.all(db[b"numpy"] == np.array([1, 2, 3]))
assert np.all(db["a table"] == pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2], "b": [2, 1]}))

# iterate through all elements
for k, v in db.items():
    print(f"{k} -> {v}")

# batch get:
print(db[["good", "bad", 1.0]])
# [True, False, 1]

# delete Rdict from dict
db.close()
Rdict.destroy(path)

An Example of Raw Mode

This mode allows only bytes as keys and values.

from rocksdict import Rdict, Options

PATH_TO_ROCKSDB = str("path")

# open raw_mode, which allows only bytes
db = Rdict(path=PATH_TO_ROCKSDB, options=Options(raw_mode=True))

db[b'a'] = b'a'
db[b'b'] = b'b'
db[b'c'] = b'c'
db[b'd'] = b'd'

for k, v in db.items():
    print(f"{k} -> {v}")

# close and delete
db.close()
Rdict.destroy(PATH_TO_ROCKSDB)

New Feature Since v0.3.3

Loading Options from RocksDict Path.

Load Options and add A New ColumnFamily

from rocksdict import Options, Rdict
path = str("./rocksdict_path")

opts, cols = Options.load_latest(path)
opts.create_missing_column_families(True)
cols["bytes"] = Options()
self.test_dict = Rdict(path, options=opts, column_families=cols)

Reopening RocksDB Reads DB Options Automatically

import shutil

from rocksdict import Rdict, Options, SliceTransform, PlainTableFactoryOptions
import os

def db_options():
    opt = Options()
    # create table
    opt.create_if_missing(True)
    # config to more jobs
    opt.set_max_background_jobs(os.cpu_count())
    # configure mem-table to a large value (256 MB)
    opt.set_write_buffer_size(0x10000000)
    opt.set_level_zero_file_num_compaction_trigger(4)
    # configure l0 and l1 size, let them have the same size (1 GB)
    opt.set_max_bytes_for_level_base(0x40000000)
    # 256 MB file size
    opt.set_target_file_size_base(0x10000000)
    # use a smaller compaction multiplier
    opt.set_max_bytes_for_level_multiplier(4.0)
    # use 8-byte prefix (2 ^ 64 is far enough for transaction counts)
    opt.set_prefix_extractor(SliceTransform.create_max_len_prefix(8))
    # set to plain-table
    opt.set_plain_table_factory(PlainTableFactoryOptions())
    return opt


# create DB
db = Rdict("./some_path", db_options())
db[0] = 1
db.close()

# automatic reloading all options on reopening
db = Rdict("./some_path")
assert db[0] == 1

# destroy
db.close()
Rdict.destroy("./some_path")

Limitations

Currently, do not support merge operation and custom comparator.
