Storage Engines

BaraDB provides multiple storage engines optimized for different access patterns.

LSM-Tree (Key-Value)

The primary storage engine with write-optimized append-only log structure.

Usage

import barabadb/storage/lsm

var db = newLSMTree("./data")
db.put("key1", cast[seq[byte]]("value1"))
let (found, value) = db.get("key1")
db.close()

Components

  • MemTable: In-memory sorted buffer
  • WAL: Write-ahead log for durability
  • SSTable: Sorted string tables on disk
  • Bloom Filter: Probabilistic set membership
  • Compaction: Size-tiered strategy with level management
  • Page Cache: LRU cache with hit rate tracking

B-Tree Index

Ordered index for range scans and point lookups.

Usage

import barabadb/storage/btree

var btree = newBTreeIndex[string, string]()
btree.insert("key1", "value1")
let values = btree.get("key1")
let range = btree.scan("key_a", "key_z")

Write-Ahead Log (WAL)

Ensures durability of write operations.

import barabadb/storage/wal

var wal = newWAL("./wal")
wal.append("txn1", "SET key1 value1")
wal.flush()

Bloom Filter

Probabilistic data structure for fast negative lookups.

import barabadb/storage/bloom

var filter = newBloomFilter(10000, 0.01)
filter.add("key1")
if filter.mightContain("key1"):
  echo "possibly exists"

Memory-mapped I/O

Efficient file access using mmap.

import barabadb/storage/mmap

var mapped = mmapFile("./data/file.dat")
let data = mapped.read(0, 100)
