Test alternative RocksDB backend @nxtedition/rocksdb
jacoscaz opened this issue · comments
The backend/rocksdb-nxtedition branch adds preliminary support for the alternative RocksDB backend @nxtedition/rocksdb built by @ronag, which passes all of our tests and appears to be roughly 30% faster than classic-level. If confirmed, that would be a very significant performance improvement at basically no cost but swapping backends.
Discovered while perusing through Level/community#121 .
After more testing, gains are between 10% and 20%. Still, nothing to complain about!
