A NodeJS Server for LokiJS
Sloki is a nodejs server which embed LokiJS, a blazing fast in-memory documents database. Sloki help to make LokiJS scalable : you can now have multiple processes speaking with LokiJS through Sloki.
A possible architecture using sloki :
+----------------------------+ TCP / Binary +-----------------------------------+
| NodeJS app worker #1 |<------------------->| |
+----------------------------+ | Sloki |
| |
+----------------------------+ TCP / Dinary | +-------------------------+ |
| NodeJS app worker #2 |<------------------->| | | |
+----------------------------+ | | | |
| | LokiJS | |
+----------------------------+ TCP / JSONRPC | | fast in-memory database | |
| go/php/python/C/whatever |<------------------->| | | |
+----------------------------+ | | | |
| | | |
+----------------------------+ TCP / Binary | +-------------------------+ |
| sloki-cli |<------------------->| |
+----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------+
The goal is to have a complete in-memory database, supporting documents (mongodb like) AND key/value stores (like redis like).
For documents, lokiJS is used.
Key/value stores are not implemented at the moment.
For moment, only TCP transport is implemented. The advantage of TCP vs HTTP API is that the connection is persistent (i.e more fast). Websockets should be implemented before HTTP API.
By default, Sloki listens on the following ports:
| Port | Transport | TLS | Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6370 | TCP | NO | Binary |
| 6371 | TCP | YES | Binary |
| 6372 | TCP | NO | JSONRPC |
| 6373 | TCP | YES | JSONRPC |
| 6374 | TCP | NO | Dinary |
| 6375 | TCP | YES | Dinary (fastest) |
If somebody have an idea why TLS over TCP is fastest than raw TCP, i'd like to know .. :)
You will need a client to speak with sloki.
The binary protocol has been made with performance in mind. Payloads looks like JSONRPC, but it's not.
REQUEST | RESPONSE
------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------
{ | {
"m":"myMethod", | "r":true,
"p":["foo","bar"], | "id":"operation-uniq-id"
"id":"operation-uniq-id" | }
} |
jsonrpc version attribute, method become m, params become p, result become r)The JSONRPC protocol has been chosen for interoperability.
REQUEST | RESPONSE
------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------
{ | {
"jsonrpc":"2.0", | "jsonrpc":"2.0"
"method":"myMethod", | "result":true,
"params":["foo","bar"], | "id":"operation-uniq-id"
"id":"operation-uniq-id" | }
} |
It's not a typo. Dinary use 2 Binary clients, one socket for requests, the other one for responses. This is the fastest protocol, the one by default.
The underling protocol is the same as the Binary one.
