A LSM-Tree key/value database in Python.

This project started as a learning tool when studing the excelent book “Designing data-intensive applications” by Martin Kleppmann.

Note

This is a toy project and is not yet tested on production environments. Use at your own risk.

Features

  • Pure Python fast LSM-Tree based key/value database.

  • Embedded and zero-conf.

  • Support in-order traversal of all stored keys.

  • On-disk database persistence.

  • Data is durable in the face of application or power failure.

  • Background merge of segment files.

  • Python 3.6+.

📝 TODO List

  • [ ] Deletion of keys.

Installation

You can install using pip:

pip install soonerdb

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/fgmacedo/soonerdb
cd soonerdb
python setup.py install

Quick intro

SoonerDB has a dict-like API.

Showtime:

In [1]: from soonerdb import SoonerDB

In [2]: db = SoonerDB('./tmp')

In [3]: db["my key"] = "A value"

In [4]: db["my key"]
Out[4]: 'A value'

In [5]: "my key" in db
Out[5]: True

In [6]: "other key" in db
Out[6]: False

In [7]: db["other key"]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-bc114493f395> in <module>
----> 1 db["other key"]
KeyError: "Key 'other key' not found."

In [8]: db.get("other key", "default value")
Out[8]: 'default value'

In [9]: db.set("another", "value")

In [10]: list(db)
Out[10]: [('another', 'value'), ('my key', 'A value')]

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up soonerdb for local development.

  1. Fork the soonerdb repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/soonerdb.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv soonerdb
    $ cd soonerdb/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 soonerdb tests
    $ python setup.py test or pytest
    $ tox
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.

  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.

  3. The pull request should work for Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.com/fgmacedo/soonerdb/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ pytest tests.test_soonerdb

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
