This is a fork of Akiban Persistit™ since it's not maintained anymore by their authors.
Persistit is a fast and reliable key/value data storage library written in Java™. Key features include:
- Support for highly concurrent transaction processing with multi-version concurrency control
- Optimized serialization and deserialization mechanism for Java primitives and objects
- Multi-segment (compound) keys to enable a natural logical key hierarchy
- Support for long records (megabytes)
- Implementation of a persistent SortedMap
- Extensive management capability including command-line and GUI tools
Use Maven (http://maven.apache.org) to build Persistit.
To build:
mvn install
The resulting jar files are in the target directory. To build the Javadoc:
mvn javadoc:javadoc
The resulting Javadoc HTML files are in target/site/apidocs.
Small examples are located in the examples directory. Each has a short README file describing the example, and an Ant build script (http://ant.apache.org). After building the main akiban-persistit jar file using Maven, you may run:
ant run
in each of the examples subdirectories to build and run the examples.
