btree

GoDoc

An efficient B-tree implementation in Go.

Features

  • Support for Generics (Go 1.18+).
  • Map and Set types for ordered key-value maps and sets,
  • Fast bulk loading for pre-ordered data using the Load() method.
  • Copy() method with copy-on-write support.
  • Path hinting optimization for operations with nearby keys.

Using

To start using this package, install Go and run:

$ go get github.com/tidwall/btree

B-tree types

This package includes the following types of B-trees:

  • btree.Map: A fast B-tree for storing ordered key value pairs.

  • btree.Set: Like Map, but only for storing keys.

  • btree.BTreeG: A feature-rich B-tree for storing data using a custom comparator. Thread-safe.

  • btree.BTree: Like BTreeG but uses the interface{} type for data. Backwards compatible. Thread-safe.

btree.Map

// Basic
Set(key, value)    // insert or replace an item
Get(key, value)    // get an existing item
Delete(key)        // delete an item
Len()              // return the number of items in the map

// Iteration
Scan(iter)         // scan items in ascending order
Reverse(iter)      // scan items in descending order
Ascend(key, iter)  // scan items in ascending order that are >= to key
Descend(key, iter) // scan items in descending order that are <= to key.
Iter()             // returns a read-only iterator for for-loops.

// Array-like operations
GetAt(index)       // returns the item at index
DeleteAt(index)    // deletes the item at index

// Bulk-loading
Load(key, value)   // load presorted items into tree
Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/tidwall/btree"
)

func main() {
	// create a map
	var users btree.Map[string, string]

	// add some users
	users.Set("user:4", "Andrea")
	users.Set("user:6", "Andy")
	users.Set("user:2", "Andy")
	users.Set("user:1", "Jane")
	users.Set("user:5", "Janet")
	users.Set("user:3", "Steve")

	// Iterate over the maps and print each user
	users.Scan(func(key, value string) bool {
		fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", key, value)
		return true
	})
	fmt.Printf("\n")

	// Delete a couple
	users.Delete("user:5")
	users.Delete("user:1")

	// print the map again
	users.Scan(func(key, value string) bool {
		fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", key, value)
		return true
	})
	fmt.Printf("\n")

	// Output:
	// user:1 Jane
	// user:2 Andy
	// user:3 Steve
	// user:4 Andrea
	// user:5 Janet
	// user:6 Andy
	//
	// user:2 Andy
	// user:3 Steve
	// user:4 Andrea
	// user:6 Andy
}

btree.Set

// Basic
Insert(key)        // insert an item
Contains(key)      // test if item exists
Delete(key)        // delete an item
Len()              // return the number of items in the set

// Iteration
Scan(iter)         // scan items in ascending order
Reverse(iter)      // scan items in descending order
Ascend(key, iter)  // scan items in ascending order that are >= to key
Descend(key, iter) // scan items in descending order that are <= to key.
Iter()             // returns a read-only iterator for for-loops.

// Array-like operations
GetAt(index)       // returns the item at index
DeleteAt(index)    // deletes the item at index

// Bulk-loading
Load(key)          // load presorted item into tree
Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/tidwall/btree"

func main() {
	// create a set
	var names btree.Set[string]

	// add some names
	names.Insert("Jane")
	names.Insert("Andrea")
	names.Insert("Steve")
	names.Insert("Andy")
	names.Insert("Janet")
	names.Insert("Andy")

	// Iterate over the maps and print each user
	names.Scan(func(key string) bool {
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", key)
		return true
	})
	fmt.Printf("\n")

	// Delete a couple
	names.Delete("Steve")
	names.Delete("Andy")

	// print the map again
	names.Scan(func(key string) bool {
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", key)
		return true

	// Andy
	// Jane
	// Janet
	// Steve

	// Andrea
	// Jane
	// Janet
