Alopex Skulk

Alopex Skulk - High-performance Time Series Storage Engine for Rust.

Features

• Time Series Optimized: Designed specifically for time-stamped data
• Columnar Storage: TSM (Time-Structured Merge Tree) file format
• Memory Efficient: Adaptive compression with run-length encoding
• High Throughput: Optimized for high-volume write workloads
• Integration Ready: Built on top of alopex-core

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
alopex-skulk = "0.1"

Architecture

Skulk implements a TSM-based storage engine with:

• MemTable: In-memory buffer for recent writes
• Partitions: Time-based data partitioning
• TSM Files: Columnar storage format with block-level compression
• Compaction: Background merge operations for optimal read performance

Usage

use alopex_skulk::tsm::PartitionManager;

// Create a partition manager
let manager = PartitionManager::new(config)?;

// Write time series data
manager.write(measurement, timestamp, value)?;

// Query data
let results = manager.query(measurement, time_range)?;

Requirements

• Rust 1.82.0 or later (MSRV)
• alopex-core 0.3.0 or later
