memhashd - The sharded key-value storage

Installation

The installation require the following tools:

• Go compiler (1.7 version or higher)

• Docker (optional, 17.05 or higher)

• docker-compose (optional, 1.14.0 version or higher)

Build binaries

To compile project, it should be store under $GOPATH/src/memhashd directory. Then to compile the binary, execute the following command:

% go build -o /usr/bin/memhashd memhashd

The binary accepts the following parameters:

• -server-addr is an address used for a peer-to-peer communication.

• -client-addr is an address used to accept client requests.

• -join is an address of a node to join to the cluster.

• -join-retries a number of attempts used to join to the cluster.

• -tls-key a path to the TLS x509 key file

• -tls-cert a path to the TLS x509 certificate file

• -num-partitions a number of the partitions (or buckets) into which a whole space is divided. Each partition will is assigned to the concrete node in a cluster.

Note, if TLS is enabled, use -k flag in cURL commands below unless the certificates are not self-signed!

Start a cluster

In order to start a cluster of three nodes, execute the following command:

% docker-compose up -d

docker ps -a

After that a cluster is available on one of the three endpoints:

• 127.0.0.1:8001
• 127.0.0.1:8002
• 127.0.0.1:8003

Usage

List of keys

The following call returns a list of keys stored on the server.

% curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8001/v1/keys

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:00:40 GMT
Content-Length: 14

["1","2","3"]

In cluster mode, the list contains only the keys from the target node, it does not aggregate the keys from the whole cluster.

Load keys

The following command load a key from the store:

% curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8001/v1/keys/1

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 11:08:29 GMT

  }
}

Store key

The following command stores a key into a store with a timeout in 10 seconds. Than means, a key will be automatically purged from the store after the 10 seconds:

% curl -iX PUT http://127.0.0.1:8001/v1/keys/1 \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"data": ["a"], "expire_time": "10s"}'

  }
}

Delete key

The following commands removes the key from the store:

% curl -iX DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8001/v1/keys/1
