About:
Mtbl is a C library for creating and reading immutable sorted string tables (SSTables). It provides a highly efficient, append-only data structure optimized for fast lookups and sequential scans. This format is ideal for large-scale, static datasets where write-once, read-many performance is critical.
Key Features:
  • Immutable and append-only design
  • High-performance sequential scans and lookups
  • Simple C API with minimal dependencies
  • File format suitable for large datasets
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance key-value stores
  • Storing and querying large, static datasets
  • Log aggregation and indexing systems
Alternatives:
  • LevelDB – LevelDB is mutable and supports incremental writes, whereas Mtbl is immutable and requires full rewrites for updates.
