py-rocksdb: Python bindings for RocksDB Adapted from py-leveldb, which author is Arni Mar Jonsson (arnimarj@gmail.com)

This is mostly py-leveldb with references to LevelDB replaced. With a notable difference: a RocksDB.Close method. May not be safe when multithreading.

The constructor also have some differences:

• removed: block_size, block_restart_interval, block_cache_size
• added: prepare_for_bulk_load, read_only, compression_type
• also added, less useful?: disable_data_sync, use_adaptive_mutex

Note: an easy way to crash the library is closing a db with open iterators.

Build rocksdb:

cd rocksdb
PORTABLE=1 make static_lib EXTRA_CXXFLAGS=-fPIC EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-fPIC
fakeroot make install # Or copy librocksdb.a into py-rocksdb directory; include/ too

Then, the extension itself:

python setup.py build

Then setup.py install or setup.py develop to deploy in your virtualenv.

>>> import rocksdb
>>> db = rocksdb.RocksDB('./db')
>>> db.Put('hello', 'world')
>>> print db.Get('hello')
world
>>> db.Delete('hello')
>>> db.Get('hello')
