The LevelDB and HyperLevelDB are removed from the backend choices. Neither
were recommended for production environments. As RocksDB is not available
on Windows platforms yet, the recommended backend choice for Windows is NuDB.
The NuDB database backend is a high performance key/value store presented
as an alternative to RocksDB on Mac and Linux deployments, and the preferred
backend option for Windows deployments. The LevelDB backend is deprecated for
all platforms.
This includes these changes:
* Add Backend::verify API for doing consistency checks
* Add Database::close so caller can catch exceptions
* Improved Timing test for NodeStore creates a simulated workload
* Add Backend::verify API for doing consistency checks
* Add Database::close so caller can catch exceptions
* Improved Timing test for NodeStore creates a simulated workload
This removes the old default configuration for the "rocksdb" backend and
replaces it with the configuration that was formerly available using
the experimental backend "rocksdbquick".
The new configuration setting improves the performance of the key/value
database by changing the compaction style and tuning the size parameters for
the typical rippled workload. Testing shows a decrease in I/O spikes for both
reading and writing.
An alternative to the unity build, the classic build compiles each
translation unit individually. This adds more modules to the classic build:
* Remove unity header app.h
* Add missing includes as needed
* Remove obsolete NodeStore backend code
* Add app/, core/, crypto/, json/, net/, overlay/, peerfinder/ to classic build
Source files are split to place all unit test code into translation
units ending in .test.cpp with no other business logic in the same file,
and in directories named "test".
A new target is added to the SConstruct, invoked by:
scons count
This prints the total number of source code lines occupied by unit tests,
in rippled specific code and excluding library subtrees.
