# TiKV Go Client
TiKV Go Client provides support for interacting with the [TiKV](https://github.com/tikv/tikv) server in the form of a Go library.
[](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/tikv/client-go/v2)
[](https://github.com/tikv/client-go/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[](https://github.com/tikv/client-go/actions/workflows/integration.yml)
[](https://github.com/tikv/client-go/actions/workflows/compatibility.yml)
## Package versions
There are 2 major versions of the `client-go` package.
- `v2` is the latest stable version. This version was extracted from [pingcap/tidb](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb) and it includes new TiKV features like Follower Read, 1PC, Async Commit. The development of this version is on the `master` branch. The documentation for this version is below.
- `v1` is the previous stable version and is only maintained for bug fixes. You can read the documentation [here](https://tikv.org/docs/4.0/reference/clients/go/).
## Usage/Examples
```bash
# valid versions be like @latest, @e5f932ae270887550b0cd221343dbd6b870b6c8f, @v2.0.0, @v2.0.1...
go get github.com/tikv/client-go/v2@COMMIT_HASH_OR_TAG_VERSION
```
Explanation of related concepts and sample code can be found in the [Client-Go Wiki](https://github.com/tikv/client-go/wiki). There are also executable examples in [examples directory](https://github.com/tikv/client-go/tree/master/examples).
## Contributing to client-go
Pull Requests and issues are welcomed. Please check [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Developing
### Running Tests
Note: All the following tests are included in the [CI](https://github.com/tikv/client-go/actions) and you can submit a Pull Request directly to hand over the work.
To run unit tests, use following command
```bash
go test ./...
```
To run code linter, make sure `golangci-lint` is [installed](https://golangci-lint.run/usage/install/#local-installation). Then use following command
```bash
golangci-lint run
```
`integration_tests` can run against a real TiKV cluster. Here is an example:
```bash
./pd-server &
sleep 5
./tikv-server &
sleep 10
cd integration_tests
go test --with-tikv
```
### Test with TiDB
It is a common task to update client-go and then test it with TiDB.
If you only need to test locally, you can directly use the modified client-go on the same host by replacing:
```bash
go mod edit -replace=github.com/tikv/client-go/v2=/path/to/client-go
```
If you want to push your TiDB code to GitHub for running CI or for code review, you need to change the client-go used by TiDB to your developing branch using the following steps:
```bash
go get -d github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2@DEV_BRANCH
# Output:
# go get: github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2@none updating to
# github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/[email protected]: parsing go.mod:
# module declares its path as: github.com/tikv/client-go/v2
# but was required as: github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2
go mod edit -replace=github.com/tikv/client-go/v2=github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/[email protected]
go mod download github.com/tikv/client-go/v2
```
