Configuration

Configuration lookup order:

  1. JVM system properties, e.g., -Dkey.subkey=value
  2. Operation system environment e.g., export TINY_LSM_KEY_SUBKEY=value
  3. .env file in classpath, using operation system environment key, e.g., TINY_LSM_KEY_SUBKEY=value
  4. config file specified by JVM system properties config.file or operation system environment TINY_LSM_CONFIG_FILE; this config file uses JVM system properties key, e.g., key.subkey=value
environment key system properties name meaning default value
TINY_LSM_HTTP_PORT http.port   9527
TINY_LSM_GRPC_PORT grpc.port   9526
TINY_LSM_LISTEN listen   0.0.0.0
TINY_LSM_BLOCK_SIZE block.size Block size in bytes 4096
TINY_LSM_TARGET_SST_SIZE target.sst.size SST size in bytes, also the approximate memtable capacity limit 2 « 20 (2MB)
TINY_LSM_TARGET_MANIFEST_SIZE target.manifest.size Manifest size in bytes 1 « 20 (1MB)
TINY_LSM_MEMTABLE_NUM memtable.num Maximum number of memtables in memory, flush to L0 when exceeding this limit 50
TINY_LSM_ENABLE_WAL enable.wal   true
TINY_LSM_SERIALIZABLE serializable Transaction serializable false
TINY_LSM_DATA_DIR data.dir   /etc/tinylsm/data

TINY_LSM_COMPACTION_STRATEGY compaction.strategy leveled/tiered/simple/full/none leveled

Compaction strategy config detail as below.

TINY_LSM_COMPACTION_LEVEL0_FILE_NUM_TRIGGER compaction.level0.file.num.trigger   5

Value storage compression config detail as below.

Zstd compression configs:

environment key system properties name meaning default
TINY_LSM_ZSTD_TRAIN_DICT zstd.train.dict   true
TINY_LSM_ZSTD_SAMPLE_SIZE zstd.sample.size   1048576(1MB)
TINY_LSM_ZSTD_DICT_SIZE zstd.dict.size   16384(16KB)
TINY_LSM_ZSTD_LEVEL zstd.level 1-22 3

Zlib compression configs:

environment key system properties name meaning default
TINY_LSM_ZLIB_LEVEL zlib.level -1 = default, 1-9 -1

LZ4 compression configs:

environment key system properties name meaning default
TINY_LSM_LZ4_LEVEL lz4.level -1 = fast, 1-17 = high -1

For example, write a config file in /path/to/tinylsm.conf :

http.port=9527
listen=0.0.0.0
block.size=4096
target.sst.size=2097152
memtable.num=50
enable.wal=true
serializable=false
data.dir=/etc/tinylsm/data
compaction.strategy=leveled
compaction.level.size.multiplier=5
compaction.level0.file.num.trigger=5
compaction.max.levels=5
base.level.size.mb=100
compressor.type=zstd
zstd.sample.size=1048576
zstd.dict.size=16384

then export TINY_LSM_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/tinylsm.conf( or -e TINY_LSM_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/tinylsm.conf for docker command) and start TinyLsm.

Usage

Get Docker Image

You can pull image from docker hub:

docker pull leibniz007/tinylsm:latest

Or build docker image from source code.
Make sure docker is installed, and then execute:

docker build . -f Dockerfile -t leibniz007/tinylsm:latest --network=host --target prod

Run

Create a dir for tinylsm first:

mkdir tinylsm

And edit tinylsm/tinylsm.conf by yourself. Then start Docker container:

docker run --rm -d --name tinylsm -v $(pwd)/tinylsm:/etc/tinylsm -p 9527:9527 -p 9526:9526 leibniz007/tinylsm:latest

Command Line Tool(CLI)

In the docker image, we provided tinylsm-cli for connecting TinyLSM:

docker exec -it tinylsm bash

# in container's bash
tinylsm-cli --help
tinylsm-cli

# in tinylsm-cli
:help
put key value
get key
delete key
get key
:quit

gRPC

gRPC port is defined by enviroment TINY_LSM_GRPC_PORT or config property grpc.port, default port is 9526.

gRPC’s definition refers to tinylsm.proto.

you can use gRPC clients like evans or java/scala code to connect to gRPC server. Sample code as below:

package io.github.leibnizhu.tinylsm.grpc

import akka.actor.typed.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.typed.scaladsl.Behaviors
import akka.grpc.GrpcClientSettings
import com.google.protobuf.ByteString
import io.github.leibnizhu.tinylsm.grpc.*

import scala.concurrent.duration.*
import scala.concurrent.{Await, ExecutionContext}

object GprcClientSample {
   implicit val sys: ActorSystem[Nothing] = ActorSystem[Nothing](Behaviors.empty[Nothing], "TinyLsmClient")
   implicit val ec: ExecutionContext = sys.executionContext
   private val grpcClient = TinyLsmRpcServiceClient(
      GrpcClientSettings.connectToServiceAt("localhost", 9526).withTls(false))

   private def getByKeyTest(): Unit = {
      val msg = Await.result(grpcClient.getKey(GetKeyRequest(ByteString.copyFromUtf8("testKey")))
         , 5.second)
      println("getKey result:" + msg.value.toStringUtf8)
      assert("testValue" == msg.value.toStringUtf8)
   }

   private def putValueTest(): Unit = {
      val reply = Await.result(grpcClient.putKey(PutKeyRequest(
         ByteString.copyFromUtf8("testKey"),
         ByteString.copyFromUtf8("testValue"))), 5.second)
      println("putKey success")
   }

   def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
      putValueTest()
      getByKeyTest()
      sys.terminate()
   }
}

Http API

http port is defined by enviroment TINY_LSM_HTTP_PORT or config property http.port, default port is 9527.

URL parameter usage  
GET /key/$key tid=Transaction ID get value by key  
POST /key/$key tid=Transaction ID, value=value put value by key  
DELETE /key/$key tid=Transaction ID delete a key  
POST /scan tid=Transaction ID, fromType,fromKey,toType,toKey, type: unbounded/included/excluded scan key-value by key range  
POST /sys/flush   force flush memtable  
POST /sys/state   dump storage structure  
POST /txn   start a new Transaction,return tid  
POST /txn/$tid/commit   commit a Transaction  
POST /txn/$tid/rollback   rollback a new Transaction _

Item result
get 10k keys 1.161 ± 0.792 s/op
get 10k keys with zstd 1.023 ± 0.150 s/op
get 10k keys with zlib 1.081 ± 0.238 s/op
put 10k keys 0.035 ± 0.458 s/op
