I have more than 100 million key-value pairs (one key can have multiple values). I am using Tokyo Cabinet's BDB (B+Tree DB) whose key, value is 32 bit byte-array.
Is it possible in Tokyo Cabinet to set how much memory (lower and upper limit) it can use ? Actually, I have 8GB memory, but it seems it can't take advantage of large memory.
Another point is that, I want to know that how to set,
tokyoCabinet.tune() tokyoCabinet.optimize() tokyoCabinet.setxmsiz() tokyoCabinet.setcache() these parameters thus I can get maximal tuning for my case. Thanks in advance. Any idea is also helpful to me.
tokyoCabinet.setcache() - set the cache size, usually is half or more filesize
tokyoCabinet.tune() - set the hash bucket file and BTree index parameters before open
tokyoCabinet.optimize() - the set new parameters of the hash bucket file and BTree index when file already opened, if the numbers of record was increasing more than set in the tune( bnum), You can increase by optimize(), for example.
tokyoCabinet.setxmsiz() set the size of the extra mapped memory, as using mmap, usually is filesize
If you have 1024 elements of Array: the recsize, set apow = 13
lmemb specifies the number of members in each leaf page. If it is not more than 0, the default value is specified. The default value is 128.
nmemb specifies the number of members in each non-leaf page. If it is not more than 0, the default value is specified. The default value is 256. fpow specifies the maximum number of elements of the free block pool by power of 2.
