Title: RocksDB Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:rocksdb URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RocksDB Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT RocksDB is a high performance embedded database for key–value data. It is a fork of Google's LevelDB optimized to exploit multi-core processors (CPUs), and make efficient use of fast storage, such as solid-state drives (SSD), for input/output (I/O) bound workloads. It is based on a log-structured merge-tree data structure. It is written in C++ and provides official language bindings for C++, C, and Java. Many third-party language bindings exist. RocksDB is free and open-source software, released originally under a BSD 3-clause license. However, in July 2017 the project was migrated to a dual license of both Apache 2.0 and GPLv2 license. This change helped its adoption in Apache Software Foundation's projects after blacklist of the previous BSD+Patents license clause.
