• Getting started with Rocksdb and Python

    In this post, I am going to discuss RocksDB. RocksDB is an embeddable persistent key-value store system developed by Facebook. It was originally forked from LevelDB which was created by Google. According to Wikipedia: RocksDB is a high performance embedded database for key-value data. It is a fork of Google’s LevelDB optimized to exploit many CPU cores, and make efficient use of fast storage, such as solid-state drives (SSD), for input/output (I/O) bound workloads. It is based on a log-structured merge-tree (LSM tree) data structure. It is written in C++ and provides official language bindings for C++, C, and Java; alongside many third-party language bindings. RocksDB has particularly been optimized…
