Create Index Snapshot

Description

This utility binary can be used to create a snapshot of an existing index. When a path to the index (badger database) is specified, the badger API is used to create a backup. This backup is compressed with Zstandard compression, encoded to hex and printed on standard output.

This output can be used to restore a database from a previous snapshot.

Usage

Usage of create-index-snapshot:
  -i, --index string   path to badger database for index (default "index")
  -l, --level string   log level for JSON logger (default "info")
  -r, --raw string     target file for raw output (overwrites existing)

Example

The program below opens a read-only in-memory badger database and restores the state from the created backup. Error handling is omitted for brevity.

opts := badger.DefaultOptions("").WithInMemory(true).WithReadOnly(true).WithLogger(nil)
db, _ := badger.Open(opts)

payload := "output of create-index-snapshot"

dbSnapshot, _ := zstd.NewReader(hex.NewDecoder(strings.NewReader(payload)))
defer dbSnapshot.Close()

db.Load(dbSnapshot, 10)
