RocksDB is a C++ library providing an embedded key-value store, where
keys and values are arbitrary byte streams. It was developed at
Facebook based on LevelDB and provides backwards-compatible support
for LevelDB APIs.

RocksDB is optimized for Flash with extremely low latencies. RocksDB
uses a Log Structured Database Engine for storage, written entirely in
C++. A Java version called RocksJava is currently in development.

RocksDB features highly flexible configuration settings that may be
tuned to run on a variety of production environments, including pure
memory, Flash, hard disks or HDFS. It supports various compression
algorithms and good tools for production support and debugging.

Features:
- Designed for application servers wanting to store up to a few
  terabytes of data on locally attached Flash drives or in RAM
- Optimized for storing small to medium size key-values on fast
  storage -- flash devices or in-memory
- Scales linearly with number of CPUs so that it works well on
  processors with many cores
