Summary: After evaluating options for JSON storage, I decided to implement our own. The reason is that we'll be able to optimize it better and we get to reduce unnecessary dependencies (which is what we'd get with folly). I also plan to write a serializer/deserializer for JSONDocument with our own binary format similar to BSON. That way we'll store binary JSON format in RocksDB instead of the plain-text JSON. This means less storage and faster deserialization. There are still some inefficiencies left here. I plan to optimize them after we develop a functioning DocumentDB. That way we can move and iterate faster. Test Plan: added a unit test Reviewers: dhruba, haobo, sdong, ljin, yhchiang Reviewed By: haobo Subscribers: leveldb Differential Revision: https://reviews.facebook.net/D18831 |

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has an Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
