A _full-text search database_ using a key-value store internally.
|
|
|
|
It uses [RocksDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb) as the internal key-value store. The key-value store allows us to handle updates and queries with small memory and CPU overheads.
|
|
|
|
You can [read the deep dive](deep-dive.md) if you want more information on the engine, it describes the whole process of generating updates and handling queries.
|
|
|
|
We will be proud if you submit issues and pull requests. You can help to grow this project and start contributing by checking [issues tagged "good-first-issue"](https://github.com/Kerollmops/MeiliDB/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22). It is a good start!

|
|
The project is only a library yet. It means that there is no binary provided yet. To get started, you can check the examples wich are made to work with the data located in the `misc/` folder.
|
|
|
|
MeiliDB will be a binary in a near future so you will be able to use it as a database out-of-the-box. We should be able to query it using a [to-be-defined](https://github.com/Kerollmops/MeiliDB/issues/38) protocol. This is our current goal, [see the milestones](https://github.com/Kerollmops/MeiliDB/milestones). In the end, the binary will be a bunch of network protocols and wrappers around the library - which will also be published on [crates.io](https://crates.io). Both the binary and the library will follow the same update cycle.

## Performances
|
|
|
|
_These information are outdated (October 2018) and will be updated soon_
|
|
|
|
We made some tests on remote machines and found that MeiliDB easily handles a dataset of near 280k products, on a $5/month server with a single vCPU and 1GB of RAM, running the same index, with a simple query:
|
|
|
|
- near 190 concurrent users with an average response time of 90ms
|
|
- 150 concurrent users with an average response time of 70ms
|
|
- 100 concurrent users with an average response time of 45ms
|
|
|
|
Servers were located in Amsterdam and tests were made between two different locations.

### Notes
|
|
|
|
The default Rust allocator has recently been [changed to use the system allocator](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/51241/).
|
|
We have seen much better performances when [using jemalloc as the global allocator](https://github.com/alexcrichton/jemallocator#documentation).
|

|
## Usage and examples
|
|
|
|
MeiliDB runs with an index like most search engines.
|
|
So to test the library you can create one by indexing a simple csv file.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo run --release --example create-database -- test.mdb misc/kaggle.csv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the command is executed, the index should be in the `test.mdb` folder.
|
|
|
|
You are now able to run the `query-database` example and play with MeiliDB.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo run --release --example query-database -- test.mdb
|
|
```
