C++ library providing an embedded key-value store, where keys and values are arbitrary byte streams. It was developed at Facebook based on LevelDB and provides backwards-compatible support for LevelDB APIs.

RocksDB is optimized for Flash with extremely low latencies. RocksDB uses a Log Structured Database Engine for storage, written entirely in C++.

RocksDB features highly flexible configuration settings that may be tuned to run on a variety of production environments, including pure memory, Flash, hard disks or HDFS. It supports various compression algorithms and good tools for production support and debugging.

Features: - Designed for application servers wanting to store up to a few terabytes of data on locally attached Flash drives or in RAM - Optimized for storing small to medium size key-values on fast storage -- flash devices or in-memory - Scales linearly with number of CPUs so that it works well on ARM processors

This package contains administration and data access tools.
