Yada: Yet Another Double-Array

crate-name at crates.io crate-name at docs.rs

Yada is a yet another double-array trie library aiming for fast search and compact data representation.

Features

  • Build static double-array tries
    • Yada adopts the compact binary representation of double-array nodes like Darts-clone.
  • Common prefix search
    • The method returns an Iterator that is an effective way to find multiple values without heap allocation.
  • Exact match search
    • The method finds a value associated with an exact match key as a Option.

Requirements

  • Rust version >= 1.46.0

Usage

See also example code for more details.

Build a double-array trie

use yada::builder::DoubleArrayBuilder;

// make a keyset which have key-value pairs
let keyset = &[
    ("a".as_bytes(), 0),
    ("ab".as_bytes(), 1),
    ("abc".as_bytes(), 2),
    ("b".as_bytes(), 3),
    ("bc".as_bytes(), 4),
    ("c".as_bytes(), 5),
];

// build a double-array trie binary
let da_bytes: Option<Vec<u8>> = DoubleArrayBuilder::build(keyset);

Search entries by keys

use yada::DoubleArray;

// create a double-array trie instance
let da = DoubleArray::new(da_bytes.unwrap());

// exact match search
for (key, value) in keyset {
    assert_eq!(da.exact_match_search(key), Some(*value as u32));
}
assert_eq!(da.exact_match_search("abc".as_bytes()), Some(2));
assert_eq!(da.exact_match_search("abcd".as_bytes()), None);

// common prefix search
assert_eq!(
    da.common_prefix_search("abcd".as_bytes())
        .collect::<Vec<_>>(),
    vec![(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)] // match "a", "ab", "abc", value and key length
);
assert_eq!(
    da.common_prefix_search("d".as_bytes()).collect::<Vec<_>>(),
    vec![] // don't match
);

Limitations

  • The value must be represented as a 31 bit unsigned integer, typed u32.
    • Yada uses the most significant bit (MSB) as a flag to distinguish between a value node and others.
  • The offset of an double-array node is 29 bits wide, so it can represent up to ~536M nodes.
    • It means this limitation results in the size upper bound ~2GB of double-arrays.
