leveldb学习记录-memtable

上一篇博客文章介绍了skiplist，skiplist是leveldb中一个非常重要的数据结构，实现了高效的数据查找和插入，时间复杂度为O(log(n))

1.memtable定义

首先来看看db/memtable.h文件中MemTable的接口：

class MemTable {
 public:
  // MemTables are reference counted.  The initial reference count
  // is zero and the caller must call Ref() at least once.
  explicit MemTable(const InternalKeyComparator& comparator);

  MemTable(const MemTable&) = delete;
  MemTable& operator=(const MemTable&) = delete;

  // Increase reference count.
  void Ref() { ++refs_; }

  // Drop reference count.  Delete if no more references exist.
  void Unref() {
    --refs_;
    assert(refs_ >= 0);
    if (refs_ <= 0) {
      delete this;
    }
  }

  // Returns an estimate of the number of bytes of data in use by this
  // data structure. It is safe to call when MemTable is being modified.
  size_t ApproximateMemoryUsage();

  // Return an iterator that yields the contents of the memtable.
  //
  // The caller must ensure that the underlying MemTable remains live
  // while the returned iterator is live.  The keys returned by this
  // iterator are internal keys encoded by AppendInternalKey in the
  // db/format.{h,cc} module.
  Iterator* NewIterator();

  // Add an entry into memtable that maps key to value at the
  // specified sequence number and with the specified type.
  // Typically value will be empty if type==kTypeDeletion.
  void Add(SequenceNumber seq, ValueType type, const Slice& key,
           const Slice& value);

  // If memtable contains a value for key, store it in *value and return true.
  // If memtable contains a deletion for key, store a NotFound() error
  // in *status and return true.
  // Else, return false.
  bool Get(const LookupKey& key, std::string* value, Status* s);

 private:
  friend class MemTableIterator;
  friend class MemTableBackwardIterator;

  struct KeyComparator {   //在memtable里，使用KeyComparator比较，作为skiplist的第二个模板参数
    const InternalKeyComparator comparator;
    explicit KeyComparator(const InternalKeyComparator& c) : comparator(c) {}
    int operator()(const char* a, const char* b) const; //operator负责解析出internal key，交给comparator比较
  };

  typedef SkipList<const char*, KeyComparator> Table;

  ~MemTable();  // Private since only Unref() should be used to delete it

  KeyComparator comparator_;   //比较器
  int refs_;  //引用计数
  Arena arena_;  //内存池
  Table table_; //跳表
};

memtable的对象构造必须显示调用（explicit关键字）
