Foreign function interface (Panama) blog #11760
Conversation
|
Is there a reason that the Java code does not use the C-interface of RocksDB (rather than the C++ one)? This FFI appears to be heading in that manner, but this would lead to a more standard means of accessing RocksDB functionality in non-C++ languages. |

Hi @mrambacher For my convenience I just built a wrapper around the C++ which I am familiar with, but you are of course right, FFI means we can easily wrap any C interface into Java, and the way forward for the future should be for RocksDB (however you define it) to maintain that single C interface, and just make sure it supports the features we need from Java, and any other client language that might be needed (Go and Rust spring to mind) |

We did some experimental work with FFI and native memory as a potential improvement to the Java API.
The work lives (unmerged) in #11095
This is the report text from that branch, extract as a blog post.
Along with some supporting files (png, pdf of graphs).
