Struct Db 

pub struct Db<S: VersionStore = MemoryStore> { /* private fields */ }

A transactional, multi-version key-value database.

Db is the front door. Db::new gives you an in-memory database; Db::with_store builds one over any VersionStore. From there the whole common case is begin / get / put / commit, with snapshot for read-only point-in-time views.

A Db is a clonable handle over shared state, like an Arc. Cloning it is cheap and every clone refers to the same database, so the idiomatic way to use it across threads is to clone a handle per thread.

Examples

The four-call common case:

use txn_db::Db;

let db = Db::new();

let mut tx = db.begin();
tx.put(b"greeting".to_vec(), b"hei".to_vec());
tx.commit()?;

let tx = db.begin();
assert_eq!(tx.get(b"greeting")?.as_deref(), Some(&b"hei"[..]));

Sharing one database across threads:

use std::thread;
use txn_db::Db;

let db = Db::new();
let handles: Vec<_> = (0..4u8)
    .map(|i| {
        let db = db.clone();
        thread::spawn(move || {
            let mut tx = db.begin();
            tx.put(vec![i], vec![i]);
            // Independent keys never conflict.
            tx.commit().expect("commit");
        })
    })
    .collect();
for h in handles {
    h.join().expect("thread");
}

Implementations

impl Db<MemoryStore>

pub fn new() -> Self

Create an empty in-memory database.

This is the default configuration: a MemoryStore backing store, ready for begin.

Examples

use txn_db::Db;

let db = Db::new();
assert_eq!(db.last_committed(), txn_db::Timestamp::ZERO);

impl<S: VersionStore> Db<S>

pub fn with_store(store: S) -> Self

Create a database over a custom VersionStore.

This is the Tier-3 seam: supply any backing store and the transaction semantics — snapshot isolation, read-your-own-writes, write-write conflict detection — compose on top of it unchanged.

Examples

use txn_db::{Db, MemoryStore};

let db = Db::with_store(MemoryStore::new());
let mut tx = db.begin();
tx.put(b"k".to_vec(), b"v".to_vec());
tx.commit()?;

pub fn begin(&self) -> Transaction<S>

Begin a read-write transaction over the current state of the database.

The transaction takes its snapshot at this moment: it reads as of the most recent commit and is unaffected by commits that happen afterward.

Examples

use txn_db::Db;

let db = Db::new();
let mut tx = db.begin();
tx.put(b"k".to_vec(), b"v".to_vec());
tx.commit()?;

pub fn snapshot(&self) -> Snapshot<S>

Take a read-only snapshot of the current state of the database.

The returned Snapshot reads as of this instant and never changes, even as other transactions commit. Use it to read several keys at one consistent point in time without the overhead of a transaction.

Examples

use txn_db::Db;

let db = Db::new();
let snap = db.snapshot();
assert_eq!(snap.get(b"k")?, None);

pub fn last_committed(&self) -> Timestamp

The timestamp of the most recent successful commit.

Returns Timestamp::ZERO for a database that has never been written. This is the timestamp a transaction beginning now would read at.

Examples

use txn_db::Db;

let db = Db::new();
assert_eq!(db.last_committed(), txn_db::Timestamp::ZERO);

let mut tx = db.begin();
tx.put(b"k".to_vec(), b"v".to_vec());
let ts = tx.commit()?;
assert_eq!(db.last_committed(), ts);

Trait Implementations

impl<S: VersionStore> Clone for Db<S>

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Clone the handle, not the data: the clone shares the same underlying database.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Default for Db<MemoryStore>

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
