An Aerospike library for Go.



This library is compatible with Go 1.20+ and supports the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS X (Windows builds are possible, but untested).



Up-to-date documentation is available in the [![Godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7?status.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7).



You can refer to the test files for idiomatic use cases.



Please refer to [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) for release notes, or if you encounter breaking changes.

## Usage



The following is a very simple example of CRUD operations in an Aerospike database.



```go

package main



import (

  "fmt"



  aero "github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7"

)



// This is only for this example.

// Please handle errors properly.

func panicOnError(err error) {

  if err != nil {

    panic(err)

  }

}



func main() {

  // define a client to connect to

  client, err := aero.NewClient("127.0.0.1", 3000)

  panicOnError(err)



  key, err := aero.NewKey("test", "aerospike", "key")

  panicOnError(err)



  // define some bins with data

  bins := aero.BinMap{

    "bin1": 42,

    "bin2": "An elephant is a mouse with an operating system",

    "bin3": []interface{}{"Go", 2009},

  }



  // write the bins

  err = client.Put(nil, key, bins)

  panicOnError(err)



  // read it back!

  rec, err := client.Get(nil, key)

  panicOnError(err)



  // delete the key, and check if key exists

  existed, err := client.Delete(nil, key)

  panicOnError(err)

  fmt.Printf("Record existed before delete? %v\n", existed)

}

```



More examples illustrating the use of the API are located in the

[`examples`](examples) directory.



Details about the API are available in the [`docs`](docs) directory.





## Prerequisites



[Go](http://golang.org) version v1.20+ is required.



To install the latest stable version of Go, visit

[http://golang.org/dl/](http://golang.org/dl/)



Aerospike Go client implements the wire protocol, and does not depend on the C client.

It is goroutine friendly, and works asynchronously.



Supported operating systems:



- Major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat)

- Mac OS X

- Windows (untested)





## Installation



1. Install Go 1.21+ and setup your environment as [Documented](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH) here.

2. Get the client in your ```GOPATH``` : ```go get github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7```

  - To update the client library: ```go get -u github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7```



Using [gopkg.in](https://gopkg.in/) is also supported: `go get -u gopkg.in/aerospike/aerospike-client-go.v7`



### Some Hints:



- To run a go program directly: ```go run ```

- to build:  ```go build -o  ```

- example: ```go build -tags as_proxy -o benchmark tools/benchmark/benchmark.go```





## Performance Tweaking



We are bending all efforts to improve the client's performance. In our reference benchmarks, Go client performs almost as good as the C client.



To read about performance variables, please refer to [`docs/performance.md`](docs/performance.md)





## Tests



This library is packaged with a number of tests. Tests require Ginkgo and Gomega library.



Before running the tests, you need to update the dependencies:



    $ go get .



To run all the test cases with race detection:



    $ ginkgo -r -race





## Examples



A variety of example applications are provided in the [`examples`](examples) directory.





### Tools



A variety of clones of original tools are provided in the [`tools`](tools) directory.

They show how to use more advanced features of the library to re-implement the same functionality in a more concise way.





## Benchmarks



Benchmark utility is provided in the [`tools/benchmark`](tools/benchmark) directory.

See the [`tools/benchmark/README.md`](tools/benchmark/README.md) for details.





## API Documentation



A simple API documentation is available in the [`docs`](docs/README.md) directory. The latest up-to-date docs can be found in [![Godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go?status.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v7).





## Google App Engine



To build the library for App Engine, build it with the build tag `app_engine`. Aggregation functionality is not available in this build.





## Reflection, and Object API



To make the library both flexible and fast, we had to integrate the reflection API (methods with `[Get/Put/...]Object` names) tightly in the library. In case you wanted to avoid mixing those API in your app inadvertently, you can use the build tag `as_performance` to remove those APIs from the build.





## Proxy Client / DBAAS



To compile the client for the proxy server in our database-as-a-service (dbaas) environment, pass `-tags as_proxy` to the compiler on build.

The Aerospike Go Client is made available under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2, as stated in the file `LICENSE`.
