The DBService class and its members

The class that abstracts the database itself and its operations is called DBService. The constructor requires a file system path, it opens the database (if it exists) or creates it on the spot (if it doesn't exist) at that moment.
To close the database, call the DBService::close function. Aside from using the structures above, it also uses an internal pointer to a leveldb::DB object and a group of member functions that abstract the main CRUD operations for LevelDB:
  • DBService::has - checks if a key exists in a given database prefix.
  • DBService::get - gets a value from a key in a given database prefix, if it exists.
  • DBService::put - inserts a key and value in a given database prefix. Due to the way LevelDB works, updating an entry is the same as inserting a different value in a key that already exists.
  • DBService::del - deletes a key in a given database prefix.
  • DBService::writeBatch - same as put + del but batched. The function requires a WriteBatchRequest struct, therefore, all operations in it are done in one go.
  • DBService::readBatch - same as get but returns all entries in a given database prefix. This function has two overloads - the first one returns all entries and requires only the prefix, and the second one returns only values from specific keys and requires both the prefix and a key list.
  • DBService::removeKeyPrefix - helper function that removes the prefix from a given key (e.g. key "0003abc" with value "123", after going through this function it would return "abc").
