You can make JNI work but probably not out of the box unless there is a known configuration for it

I was afraid it wouldn’t be that easy

if I need to delve into the internals of rocksdb jni, it sounds like it might be quite a lot of work

It seems quarkus has support for Kafka streams so this probably means you could copy something or something might already be available in the registry

I don’t see the connection, does kafka use rocksdb?

Yes, Kafka streams apparently. Google around and you’ll see the quarkus issue.

interesting, I had no idea… thanks

I’ll look around

you can also use the graal tracing agent https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/metadata/AutomaticMetadataCollection/ along with a similar agent for clojure https://github.com/luontola/clojure-native-image-agent the graal tracing agent can generate JNI and other config from running your program
