Levin - A Quick Way to Bulk Loading

Description

Levin provides a highly efficient solution in bulk loading scenario. A collection of STL-like containers are implemented with high performance and memory efficiency. Levin containers arrange memory layout SEQUENTIALLY, allocated at share memory region for inter-process reuse. In which case, we can extend the lifetime of data resources, and prevent unnecessary time-consuming reload.

Loading with levin is fast, let’s get started.

Getting Started

• Brief Intro for Levin Container

STD Container	Levin Container	Notes	Suggestion
vector<T>	SharedVector<T>	T is POD type
set<K, Compare>	SharedSet<K, Compare>	K is POD type	use SharedHashSet if no comparison
map<K, V, Compare>	SharedMap<K, V, Compare>	K/V is POD type	use SharedHashMap if no comparison
unordered_set<K, Hash, Pred>	SharedHashSet<K, Hash, Pred>	K is POD type
unordered_map<K, V, Hash, Pred>	SharedHashMap<K, V, Hash>	K/V is POD type
vector<vector<T> >	SharedNestedVector<T, SizeType>	T is POD type; SizeType is unsigned integral type	specified SizeType for memory space efficiency
unordered_map<K, vector<V> >	SharedNestedHashMap<K, V>	K/V is POD type
vector<map<K, V, Compare> >	SharedNestedMap<K, V, Compare, SizeType>	K/V is POD type; SizeType is unsigned integral type

• How to Dump Container Data to A File

// vector dump demo
std::vector<int> vec_data = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
levin::SharedVector<int>::Dump("./vec_demo.dat", vec_data);

// map/hashmap dump demo
std::unordered_map<int64_t, int32_t> map_data = { {1, 100}, {2, 200}, {3, 300} };
// or std::map<int64_t, int32_t> map_data = { {1, 100}, {2, 200}, {3, 300} };
levin::SharedHashMap<int64_t, int32_t>::Dump("./map_demo.dat", map_data);

• How to Use Container

Tips: Levin container SHOULD be immutable, NOT suggest to modify or reallocate.

// shared vector use demo
levin::SharedVector<int> vec("./vec_demo.dat");
if (vec.Init() == levin::SC_RET_OK && vec.Load() == levin::SC_RET_OK) {
    ...
}
vec.Destroy();

// shared hashmap use demo
auto map_ptr = new levin::SharedHashMap<int64_t, int32_t>("./map_demo.dat");
if (map_ptr->Init() == levin::SC_RET_OK && map_ptr->Load() == levin::SC_RET_OK) {
    ...
}
map_ptr->Destroy();
delete map_ptr;
