keystore

An in-memory key/value store written using the Go Language.

Overview

The keystore can be loaded from disk and will be flushed to disk on shutdown. You have the option of including the keystore as a library in an existing project or it can be run independently as a service by executing cmd/keystore. You can choose from the transport layers provided including TCP/UDP/HTTP. The clients are provided to access the store.

Maturity

This is the first stab. I need to add some better fine grained error handling. I will add a request type that will allow you to flush the store to disk.

Installation

For the library simply run go get github.com/landonia/keystore

For the service simply run go get github.com/landonia/keystore/cmd/keystore

Execute Service

Using the provided command to run the keystore as an independent service.

keystore -dataPath ~/keystore/backup -httpAddr 8080 -tcpAddr 8081 -udpAddr 8082

Use as Library

	package main
	
	import (
  		"github.com/landonia/keystore"
  		"github.com/landonia/keystore/transport"
  	)
  	
  	func main() {
  	
  		// Create a key store in disk
  		keystore := keystore.NewService("path/to/file/location")

  		// Bind the network protocols that are required
  		transport.StartHTTPServer(":8080", keystore.RequestChannel)
  		transport.StartTCPServer(":8081", keystore.RequestChannel)
  		transport.StartUDPServer(":8082", keystore.RequestChannel)

  		// Start
  		keystore.Start()

  		// .... wait until application ends and then shutdown and wait
  		<-keystore.Stop()
  	}

Client Library Example

You will find a simple example of using the client transport libraries in cmd/clientexample/main.go

Future

This can be used now but I want to add more request types and much better fine grained error handling (as it will assume any client error is a disconnect type right now). I would also want to add protocol buffer data types to make it easier to create clients in other languages.
