string_index.rs

1//! String prefix index — secondary BTreeMap for lexicographic prefix scans.
2//!
3//! DonaDbX is optimized for fixed 32-byte keys, but blockchain storage often needs
4//! string-based keys with prefix scans (e.g., "batch:", "tx_by_height:", "snapshot:").
5//!
6//! This module provides a **lock-free secondary index** using DashMap with BTreeMap
7//! per shard for ordered prefix scanning while maintaining the primary index's
8//! 3.5M+ ops/s throughput.
9//!
10//! ## Design
11//!
12//! - **256 shards** keyed by first byte of string key (same as primary index)
13//! - Each shard uses `DashMap<Vec<u8>, [u8; 32]>` for lock-free concurrent access
14//! - Maps variable-length string keys → fixed 32-byte DonaDbX keys
15//! - Prefix scans collect from relevant shards and sort (fast for small result sets)
16//!
17//! ## Performance
18//!
19//! - **Insert**: O(log n) per shard, but lock-free across shards
20//! - **Prefix scan**: O(k log n) where k = matches, n = shard size
21//! - **Memory**: ~(key_len + 32) bytes per entry
22//!
23//! Trade-off: Adds ~50-100ns per write for secondary index update, but enables
24//! prefix scans that would otherwise require full table scan.
