The unreliable key-value store
Originally, from my article "Why you should build your own NoSQL Database". BoJack is a bit mature now, yet missing several important features:
- Cluster-friendliness
- Security Layer (#34)
- Unix Socket support (#48)
Feel free to share your thoughts and contribute.
Requirements
- The latest version of Crystal (0.24.x)
- LLVM development files
Steps
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/marceloboeira/bojack - Switch to repo-directory:
cd bojack - Build:
make install(sudo for linux users)
- Start the server, run:
bojack server - Connect a client, in another tab, run:
bojack client
$ bojack console
> set food 🍣
🍣
> get food
🍣
> ping
pong
By default BoJack runs at 127.0.0.1:5000.
Currently the command-line interface supports two commands: server and console.
bojack <server/console> <flags>
| flag | description | |
|---|---|---|
| --hostname | Hostname the server will run | 127.0.0.1 |
| --port | Port the server will run | 5000 |
| --log | Path for a log file | STDOUT |
| --log-level | Level of messages logged | DEBUG = 0, INFO = 1 (default), WARN = 2, ERROR = 3, FATAL = 4 |
| flag | description | default |
|---|---|---|
| --hostname | Hostname this console will connect | 127.0.0.1 |
| --port | Port this console will connect | 5000 |
