LMDB for Java

LMDB offers:

  • Transactions (full ACID semantics)
  • Ordered keys (enabling very fast cursor-based iteration)
  • Memory-mapped files (enabling optimal OS-level memory management)
  • Zero copy design (no serialization or memory copy overhead)
  • No blocking between readers and writers
  • Configuration-free (no need to "tune" it to your storage)
  • Instant crash recovery (no logs, journals or other complexity)
  • Minimal file handle consumption (just one data file; not 100,000's like some stores)
  • Same-thread operation (LMDB is invoked within your application thread; no compactor thread is needed)
  • Freedom from application-side data caching (memory-mapped files are more efficient)
  • Multi-threading support (each thread can have its own MVCC-isolated transaction)
  • Multi-process support (on the same host with a local file system)
  • Atomic hot backups

LmdbJava adds Java-specific features to LMDB:

  • Extremely fast across a broad range of benchmarks, data sizes and access patterns
  • Modern, idiomatic Java API (including iterators, key ranges, enums, exceptions etc)
  • Nothing to install (the JAR embeds the latest LMDB libraries for Linux, OS X and Windows)
  • Buffer agnostic (Java ByteBuffer, Agrona DirectBuffer, Netty ByteBuf, your own buffer)
  • 100% stock-standard, officially-released, widely-tested LMDB C code (no extra C/JNI code)
  • Low latency design (allocation-free; buffer pools; optional checks can be easily disabled in production etc)
  • Mature code (commenced in 2016) and used for heavy production workloads (eg > 500 TB of HFT data)
  • Actively maintained and with a "Zero Bug Policy" before every release (see issues)
  • Available from Maven Central and OSS Sonatype Snapshots
  • Continuous integration testing on Linux, Windows and macOS with Java 8, 11 and 14
