LevelDB JNI gives you a Java interface to the LevelDB C++ library which is a fast key-value storage library written at Google that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values..
Just add the following jar to your java project: leveldbjni-all-1.8.jar
You just need to add the following dependency to your Maven pom.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.fusesource.leveldbjni</groupId>
<artifactId>leveldbjni-all</artifactId>
<version>1.8</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
By using the leveldbjni-all then the Java driver of leveldb is being used. If you want to use the navitive drivers, then use the os specific dependency instead of leveldbjni-all. For example to use linux 64 bit, then use this dependency:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.fusesource.leveldbjni</groupId>
<artifactId>leveldbjni-linux64</artifactId>
<version>1.8</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Recommended Package imports:
import org.iq80.leveldb.*;
import static org.fusesource.leveldbjni.JniDBFactory.*;
import java.io.*;
Opening and closing the database.
Options options = new Options();
options.createIfMissing(true);
DB db = factory.open(new File("example"), options);
try {
// Use the db in here....
} finally {
// Make sure you close the db to shutdown the
// database and avoid resource leaks.
db.close();
}
Putting, Getting, and Deleting key/values.
db.put(bytes("Tampa"), bytes("rocks"));
String value = asString(db.get(bytes("Tampa")));
db.delete(bytes("Tampa"));
Performing Batch/Bulk/Atomic Updates.
WriteBatch batch = db.createWriteBatch();
try {
batch.delete(bytes("Denver"));
batch.put(bytes("Tampa"), bytes("green"));
batch.put(bytes("London"), bytes("red"));
db.write(batch);
} finally {
// Make sure you close the batch to avoid resource leaks.
batch.close();
}
Iterating key/values.
DBIterator iterator = db.iterator();
try {
for(iterator.seekToFirst(); iterator.hasNext(); iterator.next()) {
String key = asString(iterator.peekNext().getKey());
String value = asString(iterator.peekNext().getValue());
System.out.println(key+" = "+value);
}
} finally {
// Make sure you close the iterator to avoid resource leaks.
iterator.close();
}
Working against a Snapshot view of the Database.
ReadOptions ro = new ReadOptions();
ro.snapshot(db.getSnapshot());
try {
// All read operations will now use the same
// consistent view of the data.
... = db.iterator(ro);
... = db.get(bytes("Tampa"), ro);
} finally {
// Make sure you close the snapshot to avoid resource leaks.
ro.snapshot().close();
}
Using a custom Comparator.
DBComparator comparator = new DBComparator(){
public int compare(byte[] key1, byte[] key2) {
return new String(key1).compareTo(new String(key2));
}
public String name() {
return "simple";
}
public byte[] findShortestSeparator(byte[] start, byte[] limit) {
return start;
}
public byte[] findShortSuccessor(byte[] key) {
return key;
}
};
Options options = new Options();
options.comparator(comparator);
DB db = factory.open(new File("example"), options);
Disabling Compression
Options options = new Options();
options.compressionType(CompressionType.NONE);
DB db = factory.open(new File("example"), options);
Configuring the Cache
Options options = new Options();
options.cacheSize(100 * 1048576); // 100MB cache
DB db = factory.open(new File("example"), options);
Getting approximate sizes.
long[] sizes = db.getApproximateSizes(new Range(bytes("a"), bytes("k")), new Range(bytes("k"), bytes("z")));
System.out.println("Size: "+sizes[0]+", "+sizes[1]);
Getting database status.
String stats = db.getProperty("leveldb.stats");
System.out.println(stats);
Getting informational log messages.
Logger logger = new Logger() {
public void log(String message) {
System.out.println(message);
}
};
Options options = new Options();
options.logger(logger);
DB db = factory.open(new File("example"), options);
Destroying a database.
Options options = new Options();
factory.destroy(new File("example"), options);
Repairing a database.
Options options = new Options();
factory.repair(new File("example"), options);
Using a memory pool to make native memory allocations more efficient:
JniDBFactory.pushMemoryPool(1024 * 512);
try {
// .. work with the DB in here,
} finally {
JniDBFactory.popMemoryPool();
}
- GNU compiler toolchain
- Maven 3
The following worked for me on:
- OS X Lion with X Code 4
- CentOS 5.6 (32 and 64 bit)
- Ubuntu 12.04 (32 and 64 bit)
- apt-get install autoconf libtool
Then download the snappy, leveldb, and leveldbjni project source code:
wget http://snappy.googlecode.com/files/snappy-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf snappy-1.0.5.tar.gz
git clone git://github.com/chirino/leveldb.git
git clone git://github.com/fusesource/leveldbjni.git
export SNAPPY_HOME=`cd snappy-1.0.5; pwd`
export LEVELDB_HOME=`cd leveldb; pwd`
export LEVELDBJNI_HOME=`cd leveldbjni; pwd`
Compile the snappy project. This produces a static library.
cd ${SNAPPY_HOME}
./configure --disable-shared --with-pic
make
Patch and Compile the leveldb project. This produces a static library.
cd ${LEVELDB_HOME}
export LIBRARY_PATH=${SNAPPY_HOME}
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=${LIBRARY_PATH}
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=${LIBRARY_PATH}
git apply ../leveldbjni/leveldb.patch
make libleveldb.a
Now use maven to build the leveldbjni project.
cd ${LEVELDBJNI_HOME}
mvn clean install -P download -P ${platform}
Replace ${platform} with one of the following platform identifiers (depending on the platform your building on):
- osx
- linux32
- linux64
- win32
- win64
If your platform does not have the right auto-tools levels available
just copy the leveldbjni-${version}-SNAPSHOT-native-src.zip artifact
from a platform the does have the tools available then add the
following argument to your maven build:
-Dnative-src-url=file:leveldbjni-${verision}-SNAPSHOT-native-src.zip
leveldbjni/target/leveldbjni-${version}.jar: The java class file to the library.leveldbjni/target/leveldbjni-${version}-native-src.zip: A GNU style source project which you can use to build the native library on other systems.leveldbjni-${platform}/target/leveldbjni-${platform}-${version}.jar: A jar file containing the built native library using your currently platform.
