Can only store utf8 values using this crate?

[andygrove]

I can write arbitrary byte values to the rocksdb store using the put() method but when I call get() I get a DBVector for the result, and I can see it has a to_utf8() method but I can't see how to get the raw bytes (my data is not utf8).

I'm still new to Rust and I tried calling the deref() method too, but couldn't see how to get that to work.

Would appreciate some pointers.

[andygrove]

perhaps if deref() could be made public?

Hey @andygrove! Traits in rust become usable when you import them, so by importing the Deref trait you should have access to the underlying slice. You can then call .to_owned() on it if you want a Vec, I believe. Let me know if this isn't what you need, and we can improve the API!
