HTTP access to a LevelDB.
Project description
FlatDB is a thin HTTP wrapper around LevelDB. LevelDB is a simple, persistent key-value store.
API
There are three endpoints. Each accepts multiple values at a time. All use HTTP GET. (This is not a RESTful interface.)
/get
GET /get?key=foo&key=bar HTTP/1.1
Get one or more values from the database. The response will be a JSON object with a key for each key found in the database.
/getrange
GET /getrange?from=from_key HTTP/1.1
Get a range starting at from_key.
/put
GET /put?foo=bar&baz=qux HTTP/1.1
Store one or more values in the database. If multiple key/value pairs are specified, they will be written atomically as a batch. If the write succeeds, the return status will be 201. If the write fails, it will not.
/delete
GET /delete?key=foo&key=baz HTTP/1.1
Delete one or more keys from the database. If multiple keys are specified, they will be deleted atomically as a batch. If the delete succeeeds, the return status will be 200.
Why FlatDB?
LevelDB is an ideal solution for a persistent, fast key-value store. (RocksDB is an alternative from Facebook that has a lot in common, but is also very new.) Since LevelDB (and RocksDB) is a library-level data store, FlatDB provides a simple, service-oriented interface to it.
Other projects, like RevelDB and the Python leveldb-server package, provide similar functionality, but:
RevelDB barely built and then segfaulted on startup.
leveldb-server is weird and tornadoy and undocumented.
Running FlatDB
FlatDB installs two executable scripts: flatdb and flatdb-dev.
$ flatdb -h usage: flatdb [-h] [-d] [-p PORT] [-b DATABASE] [-H HOST] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -d, --debug -p PORT, --port PORT -b DATABASE, --database DATABASE -H HOST, --host HOST
- --port:
Port to listen on. (7532)
- --host:
Address to bind to. (127.0.0.1)
- --database:
Path to a LevelDB (will be created if it doesn’t exist).
flatdb runs a gevent server. flatdb-dev runs the built-in Flask server.
