ibtree

A performant, in-memory, immutable B+ tree data structure.

Features

  • Implements extended ES6 Map and Set interfaces (BTMap and BTSet)
  • No 3rd party dependencies
  • Insertion, deletion and bulk-loading
  • Batched mutations
  • Supports any key types with custom comparators and key functions
  • Range search
  • Iteration
  • Similar performance to Immutable.Map using Map operations, considerably faster range search due to the B+ tree data structure

Getting Started

BTMap

import { BTMap } from 'ibtree';

let map = BTMap.from([
    [1, 'one'],
    [2, 'two'],
    [3, 'three'],
]);

map = map.set(4, 'four');

map.has(1)
// true
map.get(1)
// 'one'

Array.from(map.values())
// ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

// Range searches use the values/entries/keys API with
// arguments to specify boundaries.
Array.from(map.values(2, 3));
// ['two', 'three']
Array.from(map.values(3, 2));
// ['three', 'two']

map = map.withMutations(m => {
    m.set(5, 'five').set(6, 'six').set(7, 'seven');
});

Array.from(map.values())
// ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'give', 'six', 'seven']

BTSet

import { BTSet } from 'ibtree';

let set = BTSet.from([1, 2, 3]);

set.has(1)
// true
set.has(4)
// false
set = set.add(0);
set.has(0)
// true

Array.from(set.values())
// [0, 1, 2, 3]

Array.from(map.values(2, 3));
// [2, 3]
Array.from(map.values(2, -10));
// [2, 1, 0]

Benchmark

BTMap is similar in performance to Immutable.Map. The range search is much faster because of the difference in data structures.

The tradeoff between Immutable.Map and BTMap is that BTMap uses more memory to store updated trees.

When the tree is updated, each affected node's keys and children (Arrays of length between 32 and 64) are shallow copied. There's 1-5 affected nodes based on the height of your tree, therefore each update creates (1-5) * 2 new arrays of length between 32 and 64, whereas Immutable.js doesn't copy as much. However, if you don't keep references to many historical versions, they should get garbage collected and shouldn't be a problem.

These are relative, not absolute benchmarks. The benchmark implementation uses an adapter to interface with both Immutable and ibtree, which introduces a small overhead.

API

Two classes are exposed: BTMap and BTSet.

new BTMap(Object opts)

Returns a new, empty BTMap. Override defaults with opts object. Defaults are:

{
    // A function that extracts a key to use for comparisons.
    // If you're using `tree.set(key, value)`, the key is extracted
    // from `key`. If you're using `tree.add(value)`, it's
    // extracted from `value`.
    extractor: x => x,

    // a and b are the keys extracted with `extractor`.
    // This is close to the normal JavaScript comparison.
    comparator: (a, b) => a === b ? 0 : a < b ? -1 : 1,
}

BTMap.from(Array<Array<*>> entries[, Object opts])

Returns a new BTMap with data from a sorted array of [key, value] pairs. Uses a bulkloading algorithm internally, which is significantly faster than inserting values individually. opts works the same as to new BTMap(opts). entries must be an array of key-value pairs. Example:

const map = BTMap.from([
    ['key1', 'value1'],
    ['key2', 'value2'],
]);

map.get('key1');
// 'value1'

map.get('key2');
// 'value2'

BTMap Instance Methods

  • delete(key) and set(key, value) return a new, updated BTMap instance instead of mutating the current one.
  • clear returns an empty BTMap.
  • withMutations(fn) calls fn with a mutable version of the BTMap. Any methods called inside fn on the mutable version will be applied mutatively. Returns an immutable version of the tree.
  • asMutable returns a mutable version of the BTMap.
  • asImmutable returns an immutable version of the BTMap.

These work the same as native Map:

  • entries()
  • values()
  • keys()
  • get(key)
  • has(key)
  • [Symbol.iterator]()

BTMap instance properties

  • size: Returns number of values in the map

new BTSet(Object opts)

Works the same as new BTMap().

BTSet.from(Array<*> values[, Object opts])

Works the same as BTMap.from, except the first argument is a list of values instead of key-value pairs.

const btree = BTSet.from([
    'value1',
    'value2',
]);

btree.has('value1');
// true
btree.get('value1');
// 'value1'

btree.has('value2');
// true

BTSet instance methods

  • delete(value) and add(value) return a new, updated BTSet instance instead of mutating the current one.
  • clear returns an empty BTSet.
  • withMutations(fn) calls fn with a mutable version of the BTSet. Any methods called inside fn on the mutable version will be applied mutatively. Returns an immutable version of the tree.
  • asMutable returns a mutable version of the BTSet.
  • asImmutable returns an immutable version of the BTSet.

These work the same as native Set:

  • entries()
  • values()
  • keys()
  • has(value)
  • [Symbol.iterator]()

BTSet instance properties

  • size: Returns number of values in the set

Range Search Methods for BTSet and BTMap

The key benefit of B+ trees is the fast range search. Range searches extend the entries, values and keys instance methods to accept two arguments that specify the range boundaries.

  • entries([any fromKey, any toKey]) (also alias entryRange)
  • values([any fromKey, any toKey]) (also alias valueRange)
  • keys([any fromKey, any toKey]) (also alias keyRange)

If these functions are called with zero arguments, they iterate through all the elements in order, just like the corresponding native Map and Set methods.

These additional methods are also supported:

  • range, which is an alias for entries in BTMap and values in BTSet.

All these methods return an iterator for elements whose keys satisfy fromKey <= key <= toKey. The order of iteration is decided by comparing fromKey and toKey. If fromKey > toKey according to the instance's comparator, the iteration will be performed in reverse.

const entries = [
    [1, 'one'],
    [2, 'two'],
    [3, 'three'],
    [4, 'four'],
    [5, 'five'],
    [6, 'six'],
]

const map = BTMap.from(entries);

Array.from(map.values(2, 5));
// ['two', 'three', 'four', 'five']

// Reverse works by switching the argument position
Array.from(map.values(5, 2));
// ['five', 'four', 'three', 'two']
