ClauDB

ClauDB is a REDIS implementation in Java. At the moment is in development and only implements a small subset of commands and features. The objetive is implement a full functional one-to-one replacement for REDIS (2.8 branch).

You will probably wonder why I do this, the answer is I do it Just For Fun.

Why ClauDB?

Initially I called this project TinyDB, but there's another project with the same name, so, I've decided to chage to ClaudDB.

Clau is 🔑 in Valencià, a language spoken in eastern Spain, and ClauDB is a key-value database.

Implemented commands

Design

ClauDB is implemented using Java8. Is single thread, like REDIS. It uses asynchronous IO (netty) and reactive programing paradigm (rxjava).

Requests come from IO threads and enqueues to rxjava single thread scheduler. Then IO thread is free to process another request. When request is done, the response is sended to client asyncronously. Then, every request is managed one by one, in a single thread, so there's no concurrency issues to care about.

Features

Now only implements a subset of REDIS commands, but is usable.

ClauDB also supports persistence compatible with REDIS, RDB dumps and AOF journal. It can create compatible RDB files you can load in a REDIS server. Removed since 2.0 version

Now ClauDB support master/slave replication, a master can have multiple slaves, but at the moment slaves can't have slaves.

Also implements partially the Pub/Sub subsystem.

Changes in 2.0 version

The RDB file format support has been dropped and replaced with h2 MVStore.

This allows ClauDB to have file persistence and off heap memory support.

Another important change, now ClauDB has been splited in several subprojects:

• claudb-lib: implementation of the server and commands.
• claudb-app: command line application to run standalone server and client.
• claudb-junit4: implements a Junit4 compatible @Rule to use in junit4 based tests. Example
• claudb-junit5: implements a Junit5 compatible extension to use in junit5 based tests. Example

Performance

Performance is quite good, not as good as REDIS, but it's good enough for Java.

This is ClauDB

$ redis-benchmark -t set,get -h localhost -p 7081 -n 100000 -q
SET: 82576.38 requests per second, p50=0.303 msec
GET: 93896.71 requests per second, p50=0.287 msec

And this is REDIS

$ redis-benchmark -t set,get -h localhost -p 6379 -n 100000 -q
SET: 148148.14 requests per second, p50=0.167 msec
GET: 147710.48 requests per second, p50=0.175 msec

BUILD

You need to clon the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/tonivade/claudb.git

ClauDB uses Gradle as building tool, but you don't need Gradle installed, just type:

$ ./gradlew build

This scripts automatically download Gradle and then runs the tasks.

Or if you have Gradle installed, just type

$ gradle build

Create all-in-one jar

$ ./gradlew fatJar

DOCKER

You can create your own docker images for ClauDB using the provided Dockerfile

$ docker build -t claudb .

And then run the image

$ docker run -p 7081:7081 claudb

USAGE

You can start a new server listening in default port 7081.

$ wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/github/tonivade/claudb-app/2.0.1/claudb-app-2.0.1-all.jar
$ java -jar claudb-2.0.1-all.jar

or using jgo utility

$ jgo com.github.tonivade:claudb-app:2.0.1:com.github.tonivade.claudb.Server

Parameters:

Option                  Description
------                  -----------
-N                      enable keyspace notifications (experimental)
-O                      enable off heap memory (experimental)
-P [String: file name]  enable persistence (experimental) (default: ./claudb.data)
-V                      verbose mode
-h <String: host>       define listen host (default: localhost)
--help                  print help
-p <Integer: port>      define listen port (default: 7081)

Also you can use inside your project using Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.tonivade</groupId>
    <artifactId>claudb</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Or gradle

compile 'com.github.tonivade:claudb:2.0.1'

Or embed in your source code

    RespServer server = ClauDB.builder().host("localhost").port(7081).build();
    server.start(); 

Native Image

Now is possible to generate a native image thanks to graalvm. You can generate one with this command:

$ ./gradlew clean nativeImage

Some features are not available like lua runtime and offheap memory.
