Upgrade rocksdb
Summary
Upgrade rocksdb to a more recent version
Motivation
We are currently using version 6.29 which was released in the first half of 2022. The most recent version of rocksdb is 9.9.1 . There might have been useful for us improvements in this more recent version, e.g. related to performance.
Solution
Upgrade and test
As of today, the most recent rocksdb version supported by conan is 8.8.1 ; it is a relatively fresh version, released Nov 2023, there are no newer 8.8.x releases at this time.
Most recent RocksDB version is 9.1 https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/releases/tag/v9.1.0
Is version 6.X considered end-of-life and should it be still used?
We don't count on support for dependencies, so end-of-life doesn't matter. If you (or someone else watching) wants to take a stab at updating the dependency, just change the version number in conanfile.py and try to build. If it builds and passes tests without issue, great! Otherwise, work will be needed to change our code to use the new API, whatever it is. We're not budgeting time to work on this right now.
FWIW I did start work for upgrade to 8.8.1 (just as @thejohnfreeman said - just upgrade version in conanfile.py ), found compilation error and moved on to other priorities.
