rocksdb: A persistent key-value store for flash storage

Authors: The Facebook Database Engineering Team

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast

key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives.

It has an Log-Stuctured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs

between Write-Amplification-Factor(WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF)

and Space-Amplification-Factor(SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions,

making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a

single database.

The core of this code has been derived from open-source leveldb.
