From cff8dd4c6b830064c43e848df185264261b81476 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2025 02:11:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Improve SSTable codebase This commit introduces several improvements to the SSTable implementation: - README.md: I enhanced this with details on SSTables, features, usage examples, build/test instructions, and contribution guidelines. - Go Version: I updated the Go version in the GitHub Actions workflow to 1.21. - Error Handling: - I replaced `panic("unimplemented")` calls with proper error returns. - I improved error messages to be more descriptive and contextual. - I wrapped underlying errors for better diagnostics. - Code Clarity: - I refactored and clarified the `noCursor` logic for single-scan io.Reader. - I added extensive code comments to `go/sstable/sstable.go` for better readability and maintainability, covering package, types, functions, and internal logic. These changes make your codebase more robust, user-friendly, and easier to understand and maintain. --- .github/workflows/go.yml | 2 +- README.md | 176 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- go/sstable/sstable.go | 191 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 3 files changed, 321 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/go.yml b/.github/workflows/go.yml index d3f2478..38f9a71 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/go.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/go.yml @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ jobs: - name: Set up Go uses: actions/setup-go@v3 with: - go-version: 1.13 + go-version: 1.21 - name: Build run: go build -v ./... - name: Test diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 904136b..4eab0ec 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,4 +1,174 @@ -sstable -======= +# SSTable -SSTable implementation compatible with https://github.com/mariusaeriksen/sstable +An SSTable (Sorted String Table) is a persistent, ordered, immutable map from keys to values, where both keys and values are arbitrary byte strings. SSTables are a fundamental component in many large-scale distributed storage systems, such as Bigtable, Cassandra, and LevelDB. + +They are designed for efficient storage and retrieval of large amounts of data. Data in an SSTable is sorted by key, which allows for fast lookups and range scans. SSTables are immutable, meaning once written, they cannot be modified. This simplifies concurrency control and caching. Updates and deletions are typically handled by creating new SSTables and merging them with existing ones during a compaction process. + +## Features of this Implementation + +This Go library provides an implementation of SSTables with the following features: + +* **Compatibility:** Fully compatible with the SSTable format defined by [https://github.com/mariusaeriksen/sstable](https://github.com/mariusaeriksen/sstable). +* **Sorted Key-Value Storage:** Stores key-value pairs sorted by key, allowing for efficient lookups and range scans. +* **Immutable Files:** Once an SSTable is written, it is immutable. This simplifies data management and concurrency. +* **Data Blocks and Index:** Data is stored in blocks, and an index is created to quickly locate the block containing a specific key. +* **Header:** Each SSTable file starts with a header containing metadata like version, number of blocks, and the offset of the index. +* **Sequential Writes:** Optimized for sequential write patterns when creating SSTables. +* **Random Access Reads:** Supports efficient random access to data through key lookups and range scans. +* **Cursor for Iteration:** Provides a cursor mechanism to iterate over key-value pairs within a specified range. +* **Flexible I/O:** Works with `io.Reader`, `io.ReaderAt`, `io.Writer`, `io.WriteSeeker`, and `io.WriterAt` interfaces, allowing for flexibility in how data is read from and written to storage. + +## Usage Examples + +### Creating an SSTable + +```go +package main + +import ( + "log" + "os" + + "github.com/your-username/sstable/go/sstable" // Assuming this is the import path +) + +func main() { + // Create a new file for the SSTable + f, err := os.Create("mydata.sstable") + if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) + } + defer f.Close() + + // Create a new SSTable writer + writer := sstable.NewWriter(f) + + // Define some key-value pairs (must be sorted by key) + entries := []sstable.Entry{ + {Key: []byte("apple"), Value: []byte("A fruit that grows on trees")}, + {Key: []byte("banana"), Value: []byte("A long curved fruit")}, + {Key: []byte("cherry"), Value: []byte("A small, round, red or black fruit")}, + } + + // Write entries to the SSTable + for _, entry := range entries { + if err := writer.Write(entry); err != nil { + log.Fatalf("Failed to write entry: %v", err) + } + } + + // Close the writer to finalize the SSTable (writes the index and header) + if err := writer.Close(); err != nil { + log.Fatalf("Failed to close writer: %v", err) + } + + log.Println("SSTable created successfully: mydata.sstable") +} +``` + +### Reading from an SSTable + +```go +package main + +import ( + "fmt" + "log" + "os" + + "github.com/your-username/sstable/go/sstable" // Assuming this is the import path +) + +func main() { + // Open an existing SSTable file + f, err := os.Open("mydata.sstable") + if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) + } + defer f.Close() + + // Create a new SSTable reader + reader, err := sstable.NewSSTable(f) + if err != nil { + log.Fatalf("Failed to create SSTable reader: %v", err) + } + + // Example 1: Scan all entries + fmt.Println("Scanning all entries:") + scannerAll := reader.ScanFrom(nil) // Start scan from the beginning + for !scannerAll.Done() { + entry := scannerAll.Entry() + fmt.Printf(" Key: %s, Value: %s\n", string(entry.Key), string(entry.Value)) + scannerAll.Next() + } + if err := scannerAll.Error(); err != nil { + log.Fatalf("Error during scan: %v", err) + } + + // Example 2: Scan from a specific key + fmt.Println("\nScanning from 'banana':") + scannerFrom := reader.ScanFrom([]byte("banana")) + for !scannerFrom.Done() { + entry := scannerFrom.Entry() + fmt.Printf(" Key: %s, Value: %s\n", string(entry.Key), string(entry.Value)) + scannerFrom.Next() + } + if err := scannerFrom.Error(); err != nil { + log.Fatalf("Error during scan from key: %v", err) + } + + // Note: For specific key lookups, you would typically iterate + // with ScanFrom and stop when the desired key is found or passed. + // A direct Get(key) method is not explicitly shown in the provided sstable.go, + // but ScanFrom can be used to achieve this. +} +``` + +## Build and Test + +This project uses Go modules. + +### Building + +To build the library and command-line utilities (if any): + +```bash +go build ./... +``` + +### Testing + +To run the unit tests: + +```bash +go test ./... +``` + +You can also run tests with coverage: + +```bash +go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./... +go tool cover -html=coverage.out +``` + +This project includes a GitHub Actions workflow (in `.github/workflows/go.yml`) that automatically builds and tests the code on pushes and pull requests. + +## Contributing + +Contributions are welcome!
