Changelog

Version 0.3

This version works with RocksDB version v3.11.

Backward Incompatible Changes:

Prefix Seeks:

According to this page https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Prefix-Seek-API-Changes, all the prefix related parameters on ReadOptions are removed. Rocksdb realizes now if Options.prefix_extractor is set and uses then prefix-seeks automatically. This means the following changes on pyrocksdb.

  • DB.iterkeys, DB.itervalues, DB.iteritems have no prefix parameter anymore.
  • DB.get, DB.multi_get, DB.key_may_exist, DB.iterkeys, DB.itervalues, DB.iteritems have no prefix_seek parameter anymore.

Which means all the iterators walk now always to the end of the database. So if you need to stay within a prefix, write your own code to ensure that. For DB.iterkeys and DB.iteritems itertools.takewhile is a possible solution.

from itertools import takewhile

it = self.db.iterkeys()
it.seek(b'00002')
print list(takewhile(lambda key: key.startswith(b'00002'), it))

it = self.db.iteritems()
it.seek(b'00002')
print dict(takewhile(lambda item: item[0].startswith(b'00002'), it))

SST Table Builders:

  • Removed NewTotalOrderPlainTableFactory, because rocksdb drops it too.

Changed Options:

In newer versions of rocksdb a bunch of options were moved or removed.

  • Rename bloom_bits_per_prefix of rocksdb.PlainTableFactory to bloom_bits_per_key
  • Removed Options.db_stats_log_interval.
  • Removed Options.disable_seek_compaction
  • Moved Options.no_block_cache to BlockBasedTableFactory
  • Moved Options.block_size to BlockBasedTableFactory
  • Moved Options.block_size_deviation to BlockBasedTableFactory
  • Moved Options.block_restart_interval to BlockBasedTableFactory
  • Moved Options.whole_key_filtering to BlockBasedTableFactory
  • Removed Options.table_cache_remove_scan_count_limit
  • Removed rm_scan_count_limit from LRUCache
