# bitraft
A [Bitcask](https://github.com/prologic/bitcask) Distributed Key/Value store
using [Raft](https://github.com/hashicorp/raft) for concensus with a
[Redis](https://redis.org) compatible API written in [Go](https://golang.org).
Based off of [kvnode](https://github.com/tidwall/kvnode).
(See [LICENSE.old](/LICENSE.old))
- Redis compatible API
- Bitcask disk-based storage
- Raft support with [Finn](https://github.com/tidwall/finn) commands
- Compatible with existing Redis clients
Commands:
```
SET key value
GET key
DEL key [key ...]
KEYS [WITHVALUES]
FLUSHDB
SHUTDOWN
```
## Key scanning
The `KEYS` command returns keys and values, ordered by keys.
The `PIVOT` keyword allows for efficient paging.
For example:
```
redis> MSET key1 1 key2 2 key3 3 key4 4
OK
redis> KEYS * LIMIT 2
1) "key1"
2) "key2"
redis> KEYS * PIVOT key2 LIMIT 2
1) "key3"
2) "key4"
```
The `PDEL` commands will delete all items matching the specified pattern.
## Backup and Restore
To backup data:
```
RAFTSNAPSHOT
```
This will creates a new snapshot in the `data/snapshots` directory.
Each snapshot contains two files, `meta.json` and `state.bin`.
The state file is the database in a compressed format.
The meta file is details about the state including the term, index, crc, and size.
Ideally you call `RAFTSNAPSHOT` and then store the state.bin on some other server like S3.
To restore:
- Create a new raft cluster
- Download the state.bin snapshot
- Pipe the commands using the `bitraft --parse-snapshot` and `redis-cli --pipe` commands
Example:
```
bitraft --parse-snapshot state.bin | redis-cli -h 10.0.1.5 -p 4920 --pipe
```
This will execute all of the `state.bin` commands on the leader at `10.0.1.5:4920`
For information on the `redis-cli --pipe` command see [Redis Mass Insert](https://redis.io/topics/mass-insert).
