RocksDB-Server

Fast and simple Redis clone written in C using RocksDB as a backend.

Supported commands

SET key value
GET key
DEL key
KEYS *
SCAN cursor [MATCH pattern] [COUNT count]
FLUSHDB

Any Redis client should work.

Building

Tested on Mac and Linux (Ubuntu), though should work on other platforms. Please let me know if you run into build problems.

Requires libtool and automake.

Ubuntu users:

$ apt-get install build-esstential libtool automake

To build everything simply:

$ make

Running

usage: ./rocksdb-server [-d data_path] [-p tcp_port] [--sync] [--inmem]

• -d -- The database path. Default ./data/
• -p -- TCP server port. Default 5555.
• --inmem -- The active dataset is stored in memory.
• --sync -- Execute fsync after every SET. More durable, but much slower.
