SiKV

In memory Key Value store

Currently supports single threaded client-server communication. The underlying hashmap is not thread safe -- this will be changed later

Tested on my laptop installed with AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor running the following software in a VM

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Linux 5.4.0-182-generic
GCC v11.4.0

Installing Dependencies

To install all requirements[Tested on Ubuntu]:

sudo chmod +x install_dependencies_ubuntu.sh
./install_dependencies_ubuntu.sh

Default is to use the custom allocator. You need to pass the USE_CUSTOM_ALLOC=yes flag like this make USE_CUSTOM_ALLOC=yes. Check the documentation for liballoc on how to install it. You also need to set USE_CUSTOM_ALLOC macro in sikv.h to 1 or a value greater than zero

You may need to add /usr/local/lib to your linker path with ldconfig command -- This might require user with sudo privileges as follows: sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib/

Examples

Running the server

Remember to replace main.o with main.out

Running the client

Remember to replace client.o with client.out

Check for potential memory leaks

NOTE: This will not run when using custom allocator(i.e USE_CUSTOM_ALLOC is set to value > 0) since Valgrind does not work well with mmap

make memcheck  # server
make client_memcheck  # client
