A K.I.S.S. implementation of log-structured merge trees (LSM-trees/LSMTs) in Rust.
> This crate only provides a primitive LSM-tree, not a full storage engine.
> For example, it does not ship with a write-ahead log.
> You probably want to use https://github.com/fjall-rs/fjall instead.
## About
This is the most feature-rich LSM-tree implementation in Rust! It features:
- Thread-safe BTreeMap-like API
- 100% safe & stable Rust
- Block-based tables with LZ4 compression
- Range & prefix searching with forward and reverse iteration
- Size-tiered, (concurrent) Levelled and FIFO compaction
- Multi-threaded flushing (immutable/sealed memtables)
- Partitioned block index to reduce memory footprint and keep startup time short [[1]](#footnotes)
- Block caching to keep hot data in memory
- Bloom filters to increase point lookup performance (`bloom` feature, disabled by default)
- Snapshots (MVCC)
Keys are limited to 65536 bytes, values are limited to 2^32 bytes. As is normal with any kind of storage
engine, larger keys and values have a bigger performance impact.
## Feature flags
#### bloom
Uses bloom filters to reduce disk I/O for non-existing keys. Improves point read performance, but increases memory usage.
*Disabled by default.*
## Stable disk format
The disk format is stable as of 1.0.0. Future breaking changes will result in a major version bump and a migration path.
