Struct rustdb::compact::CompactFile [−][src]
Expand description
CompactFile stores logical pages in smaller regions of backing storage.
Each logical page has a fixed size “starter page”.
A logical page that does not fit in the “starter page” has 1 or more “extension pages”.
Each extension page starts with it’s containing logical page number ( to allow extension pages to be relocated as required ).
When a new extension page is needed, it is allocated from the end of the file.
When an extension page is freed, the last extension page in the file is relocated to fill it.
If the starter page array needs to be enlarged, the first extension page is relocated to the end of the file.
File layout: file header | starter pages | extension pages.
Layout of starter page: 2 byte logical page size | array of 8 byte page numbers | user data | unused data.
Note: for a free logical page, a special value is stored after the page size, then a link to the next free logical page.
Layout of extension page: 8 byte logical page number | user data | unused data.
Fields
stg: Box<dyn Storage>
Underlying storage.
Implementations
