kvdb

Key Value Store abstraction library.

The kvdb library abstracts the caller from the specific key-value database implementation. The main goal of the kvdb library is to provide simple APIs to deal with only keys and values, and abstract away the intricate details of a specific key value stores. It also provides support for complex APIs like Snapshot, Watch and Lock which are built using the basic APIs.

Supported key value stores

• Etcd v2
• Etcd v3
• Consul
• In-memory store (local to the node)
• Bolt DB (local to the node)
• Zookeeper

Usage

The kvdb library is easy to use and requires you to create a new instance of the Kvdb object

package main

import (
  "github.com/portworx/kvdb"
  "github.com/portworx/kvdb/etcd/v3"
  "github.com/libopenstorage/openstorage/pkg/dbg"
)

func getKvdb(
  kvdbName string, // Use one of the kv store implementation names
  basePath string, // The path under which all the keys will be created by this kv instance
  discoveryEndpoints []string,  // A list of kv store endpoints
  options map[string]string, // Options that need to be passed to the kv store
  panicHandler kvdb.FatalErrorCB, // A callback function to execute when the library needs to panic
) (kvdb.Kvdb, error) {

	kv, err := kvdb.New(
		kvdbName,
		basePath,
		discoveryEndpoints,
		options,
		panicHandler,
	)
  return kv, err

}

type A struct {
   a1 string
   a2 int
}

func main() {

  // An example kvdb using etcd v3 as a key value store
  kv, err := getKvdb(
    v3.Name,
    "root/",
    []{"127.0.0.1:2379"},
    nil,
    dbg.Panicf,
  )
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Failed to create a kvdb instance: ", err)
    return
  }

  // Put a key value pair foo=bar
  a := &A{"bar", 1}
  _, err = kv.Put("foo", &a, 0)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Failed to put a key in kvdb: ", err)
    return
  }

  // Get a key
  value := A{}
  _, err = kv.GetVal("foo", &value)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Failed to get a key from kvdb: ", err)
    return
  }
}

We are always looking for contributions from the open source community. Send out a PR and we will review it.

Sign your work

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):
