heed

heed & heed3 Rust-centric LMDB abstractions with minimal overhead. These libraries enable the storage of various Rust types within LMDB, extending support to include Serde-compatible types. It supports not only the LMDB mdb.master branch but also the mdb.master3 branch, which features encryption-at-rest.

Simple Example Usage

Here is an example on how to store and read entries into LMDB in a safe and ACID way. For usage examples, see heed/examples/. To see more advanced usage techniques go check our Cookbook.

Working with two Crates: heed and heed3

The heed and heed3 crates manage a shared codebase. Within the heed3 folder, you can find the Cargo.toml specific to the heed3 crate. To facilitate work on heed3, utilize the convert-to-heed3.sh script.

This script conveniently moves the heed3/Cargo.toml file to the heed/ folder, updates the heed:: references to heed3::, and generates a commit for easy rollback if needed.

Building from Source

You can use this command to clone the repository:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/meilisearch/heed.git
cd heed
cargo build

However, if you already cloned it and forgot to initialize the submodules, execute the following command:

git submodule update --init
