The compact and fast NoSQL in-memory database for general usage

It's a beautiful, unique, free, open-source solution that combines the best qualities of complex databases and provides better performance

As a bonus, it helps to save tons of dollars on hardware without extra cost on Application Level development due to the high-level API and user-friendly UI

Features

Performance

Performance is our top priority, and we manage to get it pretty well. Experiments show that Reindexer is up to 2 times faster than other solutions

Memory utilization

Reindexer aims to consume as little memory as possible. Most queries are processed without memory allocation at all

Full text search

Our distinctive feature is the full-text search built into the internal system

Flexible join-queries support

Reindexer supports multiple join's types and merge and also able to combine them with logical operators within single query

Clusterization

Supports asynchronous replication and RAFT-like synchronous clusterization

Persistent storage

Reindexer can store and load documents from disk via LevelDB or RocksDB persistent storage

Geospatial indexes

Supports filtering by points and area intersections with few different engines

Modern interface

Reindexer includes modern GUI that allows easy configuration, monitoring, and viewing your databases

Reindexer can also be installed on macOS using Homebrew

brew tap restream/reindexer
brew install reindexer
Windows

Download installation binary:
First you need to download and install 64 bit or 32 bit
From sources

Dependencies
Reindexer's core is written in C++17 and uses LevelDB as the storage backend. So, the Cmake, C++17 toolchain, and LevelDB must be installed until the Reindexer installation. To build Reindexer, g++ 8+, clang 7+ or MSVC 2019+ is required. Dependencies can be automatically installed using the script:

curl -L https://github.com/Restream/reindexer/raw/master/dependencies.sh | bash -s

Build & install
Follow these steps for building and configuring Reindexer:

git clone https://github.com/Restream/reindexer
cd reindexer
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
# install to system
sudo make install

Connectors

Go

HTTP REST API

The simplest way to use reindexer with any program language - is using REST API. The complete REST API documentation is here. Or explore interactive version of Reindexer's swagger documentation
GRPC API
GPRC is a modern open-source high-performance RPC framework developed by Google that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking and authentication. It uses HTTP/2 for transport, Protocol Buffers as the interface description language and it is more efficient (and also easier) to use than HTTP API. Reindexer supports GRPC API since version 3.0

Reindexer's GRPC API is defined in reindexer.proto file

To operate with reindexer via GRPC:
1. Build reindexer_server with -DENABLE_GRPC cmake option
2. Run reindexer_server with --grpc flag
3. Build GRPC client from reindexer.proto for your language https://grpc.io/docs/languages/
4. Connect your GRPC client to reindexer server running on port 16534
Pay attention to methods, that have stream parameters:
rpc ModifyItem(stream ModifyItemRequest) returns(stream ErrorResponse) {}
rpc SelectSql(SelectSqlRequest) returns(stream QueryResultsResponse) {}
rpc Select(SelectRequest) returns(stream QueryResultsResponse) {}
rpc Update(UpdateRequest) returns(stream QueryResultsResponse) {}
rpc Delete(DeleteRequest) returns(stream QueryResultsResponse) {}
rpc AddTxItem(stream AddTxItemRequest) returns(stream ErrorResponse) {}

The concept of streaming is described here. The best example is a bulk insert operation, which is implemented via Modify method with mode = INSERT. In HTTP server it is implemented like a raw JSON document, containing all the items together, with GRPC streaming you send every item separately one by one. The second approach seems more convenient, safe, efficient and fast
