VSDB
https://crates.io/crates/vsdb
VSDB is a 'Git' in the form of a KV database.
Based on the powerful version control function of VSDB, you can easily give your data structure the ability to version management.
Make everything versioned !!
Highlights
- Support Git-like verison operations, such as:
- Create countless branches and merge them to their parents
- Rolling back a 'branch' to a specified historical 'version'
- Querying the historical value of a key on the specified 'branch'
- Most APIs is similar as the coresponding data structures in the standard library
Use Vecx just like Vec
Use Mapx just like HashMap
Use MapxOrd just like BTreeMap
...
Examples
Suppose you have a great algorithm like this:
struct GreatAlgo {
a: Vec<...>,
b: BTreeMap<...>,
c: u128,
d: HashMap<...>,
e: ...
}
Simply replace the original structure with the corresponding VSDB data structure, and your algorithm get the powerful version control ability at once!
struct GreatAlgo {
a: VecxVs<...>,
b: MapxOrdVs<...>,
c: OrphanVs<u128>,
d: MapxVs<...>,
e: ...
}
impl GreatAlgo {
fn version_create(&self, name: &str) {
self.a.version_create(VersionName(name)).unwrap();
self.b.version_create(VersionName(name)).unwrap();
self.c.version_create(VersionName(name)).unwrap();
self.d.version_create(VersionName(name)).unwrap();
...
}
fn branch_create(&self, name: &str) {
self.a.branch_create(BranchName(name)).unwrap();
self.b.branch_create(BranchName(name)).unwrap();
self.c.branch_create(BranchName(name)).unwrap();
self.d.branch_create(BranchName(name)).unwrap();
...
}
...
}
Some complete examples:
- Versioned examples:
- Simple blockchain
- Operations one by one
- Unversioned examples:
Simple web server
Operations one by one
Compilation features
- [default] sled_engine, use sled as the backend database
- Faster compilation speed
- Support for compiling into a statically linked binary
- rocks_engine, use rocksdb as the backedn database
Faster running speed
Can not be compiled into a statically linked binary
[default] cbor_ende, use cbor as the en/decoder
Faster running speed
bcs_ende, use bcs as the en/decoder

Low-level design
Based on the underlying one-dimensional linear storage structure (native kv-database, such as sled/rocksdb, etc.), multiple different namespaces are divided, and then abstract each dimension in the multi-dimensional logical structure based on these divided namespaces.
In the category of kv-database, namespaces can be expressed as different key ranges, or different key prefix.
This is the same as expressing complex data structures in computer memory(the memory itself is just a one-dimensional linear structure).
User data will be divided into two dimensions: 'branch' and 'version', the functions of the 'basic' category are stateless, and the functions of the 'versioned' category are stateful. In the internal implementation, each stateful function is implemented based on its corresponding stateless function, all stateful data has two additional identification dimensions ('branch' and 'version'), somewhat like the logic in Git. Stateless functions do not have the feature of 'version' management, but they have higher performance.
