NetStoreDB

NetStoreDB is a peer-to-peer distributed key-value store built in Rust, designed to leverage asynchronous networking, multi-threaded execution (Tokio), and decentralized storage. It features UDP-based peer discovery, TCP communication for reliability, and a CLI for direct node interaction. The goal is to showcase Rust’s memory safety, concurrency model, and efficiency in distributed systems.

Key Features:

UDP Handshake: Utilizes UDP broadcasts for efficient peer discovery
TCP Communication: Ensures reliable communication between nodes
Concurrent Access: Leverages Tokio for a multi-threaded approach
Key-Value Store: Uses a straightforward data model that can be extended
CLI: Provides a command-line interface for managing nodes and data

Project Structure:

cli/: Contains the CLI application.
src/: Houses the core library code.
Cargo.toml: Manages the project’s dependencies.

Installation:

Ensure Rust and Cargo are installed.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://gitlab.com/surajraika1/NetStoreDB.git

Build the project:
```
cd NetStoreDB
cargo build --release
```
If set up as a workspace, the CLI can be built separately:
```
cargo build --release -p cli
```

Usage:

Run the CLI binary:
```
./target/release/netstoredb
```
The node should automatically discover and communicate with other nodes on the network.
Interact with the database using the CLI commands:
- Set a Value:
```
./netstoredb set --node 0.0.0.0:9000 "testKey" "testValue"
```
- Get a Value:
```
./netstoredb get --node 0.0.0.0:9000 "testKey"
```
  Replace 0.0.0.0:9000 with the node’s address and the keys/values with the desired input.
