client-of-leveldb

This project presents a detailed analysis of LevelDB, a fast and lightweight key-value storage library developed by Google. Here, we implement a client application that utilises LevelDB by incorporating its header files and implementing the PUT and GET functions to insert key-value pairs and retrieve values based on specific keys.

Steps to Complie leveldb:

Cloning the leveldb repo:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/google/leveldb.git

For cmake:

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && cmake --build .

For compiling a cpp file which uses levelDB:

While compiling, we need to link to this static library libleveldb.a using -lleveldb

g++-11 <file_name> -I<path to leveldb/include> -L<path to leveldb/build> -lleveldb
