rocksdb (the Rust bindings) is unmaintained #816

Description

@kayabaNerve

AFAICT, we have two options:

  1. Move to maintained bindings, such as https://github.com/zaidoon1/rust-rocksdb/. I was hesitant to do this prior, for the obvious supply-chain security reasons, but the adoption of cargo vet would likely solve that now?

  2. Remove our usage of RocksDB.

While I unfortunately don't believe sled became production-ready, fjall may be. While I'd generally be incredibly cautious to the point of not even suggesting it, their 3.0 announcement was honestly just incredibly convincing they knew what they were doing and this could be considered.

There is also heed wrapping LMDB as another option.

librocksdb-sys (presumably embedding the entirety of RocksDB) also has the downside of being the largest single contributor to our cargo vet backlog at almost 900,000 lines of code.
