CI docs.rs Crates.io MSRV dependency status

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 compression support
  • Range & prefix searching with forward and reverse iteration
  • Size-tiered, (concurrent) Leveled and FIFO compaction
  • Multi-threaded flushing (immutable/sealed memtables)
  • Partitioned block index to reduce memory footprint and keep startup time short [1]
  • Block caching to keep hot data in memory
  • Bloom filters to increase point lookup performance (bloom feature, disabled by default)
  • Snapshots (MVCC)
  • Key-value separation (optional) [2]
  • Single deletion tombstones ("weak" deletion)

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

lz4

Allows using LZ4 compression, powered by lz4_flex.

Disabled by default.

miniz

Allows using DEFLATE/zlib compression, powered by miniz_oxide.

Disabled by default.

bloom

Uses bloom filters to reduce superfluous disk I/O during point reads, improving performance, but also increasing memory usage.

Disabled by default.

bytes

Uses bytes as the underlying Slice type.

Disabled by default.

Stable disk format

The disk format is stable as of 1.0.0.

2.0.0 uses a new disk format and needs a manual format migration.

Future breaking changes will result in a major version bump and a migration path.
