Introduction

This document provides an overview of the application, its features, and instructions for installation, configuration, and usage.

Nebula is a distributed in-memory key-value store that uses consistent hashing to distribute data across multiple stores, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.

Features

• Distributed architecture using consistent hashing.
• In-memory storage for fast data access.
• Support for GET, PUT, and DELETE operations.

Technologies Used

DIM-KVS is built using the following technologies and libraries:

• Golang: The primary programming language.
• gRPC: Used for communication between components.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get started with NEBULA (DKVS):

1. Download and install Golang from the official website.

2. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/priyansh32/nebula.git

3. Install the dependencies:

    go mod download

4. Build the project components:

    chmod +x ./build.sh
    ./build.sh

5. Run the coordinator:

    ./bin/coordinator <port> <replication-factor>

6. Run the store:

    ./bin/store <port>

   you can run multiple stores by running the above command with different ports.

7. Run the CLI:

    ./bin/cli <coordinator-address>

   the coordinator address is the address of the coordinator in the format host:port.

Usage

Application provides a CLI to interact with the coordinator. Below is a sample usage of CLI.
To interact with the coordinator programmatically, you need to use gRPC with protobuf specification the /internal/api/coordinator/coordinator.proto

NEBULA> ADDSTORE localhost:50012 alpha-store
Added store:  alpha-store  with status:  OK

NEBULA> ADDSTORE localhost:50013 beta-store
Added store:  beta-store  with status:  OK

NEBULA> PUT email [email protected]
Status:  OK
