This is an OCaml RocksDB foreign-function interface, generated using cppffigen. There is another, orocksdb which I used extensively before writing this, and I'm certainly not trying to compete with that library. Indeed, unless you need function specific to this library, I would recommend you use that one instead.
The salient difference between this library and orocksdb (aside from the immaturity of this one) is that this library is based on wrappering the RocksDB C++ interface directly, rather than wrappering the RocksDB C API. In my opinion, wrappering the C++ API is much, much, much simpler, so it is easy to extend the wrappering to all parts of the RocksDB C++ API that one wishes to expose in Ocaml.
The strongest reason for releasing this library, is simply as an example of cppffigen in action.
NOTE WELL: This code has been buit against git revision
ed8fbdb560d7e646176fc697a6ba23e1f5af183a of rocksdb, a pre-5.0
commit-revision. I haven't checked if this code will compile/run
against official releases (e.g. 4.3.1, 4.11.2, etc) of Rocksdb, but if
if you want to use this library, please contact me and I'll be happy
to both check, and make any minor fixups required.
Once you've installed cppffigen and rocksdb, to install this library
is straightforward: edit the Makefile and modify
ROCKS_LIB=rocksdb
ROCKS_INSTALL=/home/chet/Hack/IL-DEV/rocksdb-myrocks
ROCKS_LIBDIR=/home/chet/Hack/IL-DEV/rocksdb-myrocks/lib
ROCKS_VERSION=myrocks
to match your rocksdb installation. Then
make all install
In the test subdirectory is a test suite to exercise the generated
interface. This test-suite is built using oasis and oUnit. To build
and run the testsuite:
cd tests
oasis setup
ocaml setup.ml -configure --enable-tests
make test
