I'm trying to start using RocksDB but i don't understand what i have to run once i have executed the compiling.

I have run the following

1 Dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev libsnappy-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libzstd-dev

2 Installation:

git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git
cd rocksdb/
make static_lib

I have executed the recommended How to install RocksDB into ubuntu? and here: enter image description here

And now? how can i start it? how can i use it?

i read carefully the git page but I'm in front a folders full of file, and i don't know what to run...

RocksDB is a library which means it needs another program to tell it what to do. See examples and how the Makefile builds those examples. C++ is the primary supported language but bindings exist for many other languages also.

There is some command line support with ldb (make ldb), but that is only intended for debugging and maintenance.

  • I would like to use it with Faust (https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust) this mean that i can even avoid to compile it and just install the library that i need with (pip install python-rocksdb). Is the first time that i came across something like this, so it is nowhere, In my mind i have SQL, so a DB installed some where, but instead is just a library that sit on top of an application. RocksDB is like a folder with files inside, similar to saving data in JSON? Every app has his own DB embedded, Correct? Thanks! – SimAzz Sep 09 '21 at 16:27
