Aerospike

Running Aerospike

To start Aerospike using Docker, run the following command:

docker run -d --name aerospike -p 3000-3002:3000-3002 aerospike:ee-7.2.0.1

Setting Up the Development Environment

To set up your development environment, execute:

go get github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7@v7.6.0
go run -tags as_proxy main.go

Changing Policies

If you change the policy, will it impact the data stored? Are you allowed to adjust policies to reduce costs?

Key Terms for Aerospike Schema Data Models

Namespace

This is where all policies, sets, and record data reside, along with the last update time. You can create multiple namespaces based on your requirements.

Key

The unique identifier for each record.

Metadata

Includes the generation counter and time to live (TTL) for records.

Bin

This is where the actual data is stored. A bin can accept any type of data.

Sets

A collection of records. If you don’t define a set for a record, it will belong to the null set within the namespace.

This package offers a function, StructToBins, which takes a struct and converts it into a BinMap suitable for Aerospike operations. The function uses reflection to iterate through the struct fields, retrieve the tags, and handle the conversion to the appropriate Aerospike data types.

Key Features: Struct Tagging: Uses Go struct tags (as:"bin_name") to map struct fields to Aerospike bin names. Support for Nested Structs: Automatically handles nested structs and flattens them into the parent bin. Nil and Zero Value Handling: Supports the omitempty tag to skip zero or nil values. Error Handling: Returns an error if unsupported types or nil values for required fields are encountered.

Note :

1. Make sure to pass a pointer to the struct when using the GetRecord method.
