py-rocksdb: Python bindings for RocksDB Adapted from py-leveldb, which author is Arni Mar Jonsson ([email protected])
This is mostly py-leveldb with references to LevelDB replaced. With a notable difference:
a RocksDB.Close
method. May not be safe when multithreading.
The constructor also have some differences:
- removed: block_size, block_restart_interval, block_cache_size
- added: prepare_for_bulk_load, read_only, compression_type
- also added, less useful?: disable_data_sync, use_adaptive_mutex
Note: an easy way to crash the library is closing a db with open iterators.
Build Instructions
Build rocksdb:
cd rocksdb
PORTABLE=1 make static_lib EXTRA_CXXFLAGS=-fPIC EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-fPIC
fakeroot make install # Or copy librocksdb.a into py-rocksdb directory; include/ too
Then, the extension itself:
python setup.py build
Then setup.py install
or setup.py develop
to deploy in your virtualenv.
Example Usage
>>> import rocksdb
>>> db = rocksdb.RocksDB('./db')
>>> db.Put('hello', 'world')
>>> print db.Get('hello')
world
>>> db.Delete('hello')
>>> db.Get('hello')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError
>>> for i in xrange(10):
... db.Put(str(i), 'string_%s' % i)
...
>>> print list(db.RangeIter(key_from = '2', key_to = '5'))
[('2', 'string_2'), ('3', 'string_3'), ('4', 'string_4'), ('5', 'string_5')]
>>> batch = rocksdb.WriteBatch()
>>> for i in xrange(1000):
... db.Put(str(i), 'string_%s' % i)
...
>>> db.Write(batch, sync = True)
>>>
