use of rowlog inside lily» feed Solr index with (Lily|HBase) record updates» maintain secondary indices (i.e. linkindex)» shared concerns: » reliability » consistency » manageability » (scalability) IIC » TECHNOLOGIEPARK 3 » B-9052 ZWIJNAARDE (GENT) » www.outerthought.org 6

MQ requirements» async (cope with Solr ‘lag’)» guaranteed execution» no concurrent processing of 2 msg about the same record» no extra tech (HBase should be good enough) » management complexity » beneﬁts from scalability, resilience, etc IIC » TECHNOLOGIEPARK 3 » B-9052 ZWIJNAARDE (GENT) » www.outerthought.org 10

UC2: write-ahead-log (WAL)» secondary actions » pushing messages onto MQ (!) » updating secondary indices (i.e. linkindex)» requirements » sec. actions eventually get executed, in predeﬁned order » further updates to record denied until sec. actions succeeded » synchronous » pre-update: check WAL for outstanding actions + cleanup mechanism IIC » TECHNOLOGIEPARK 3 » B-9052 ZWIJNAARDE (GENT) » www.outerthought.org 11

global queue» separate HBase table» 1 msg per record update per subscription» key = (shard id +) subscription ID + timestamp + (data table) rowkey + sequence nr» rowlog processor (single instance, managed by ZK)» data always appended/deleted from table end (boo!)

why row-local queue?» predates Inbox-concept (Google Megastore)» msgs will appear on rowlog if and only if updates have really happened » rely on atomic row operation guarantee of HBase » msgs on global queue without local counterparts can be discarded» ‘msgs’ on global rowlog can be small » just point to msgs in row-local queue » actual payload sits there» optimized processing of msgs per row (i.e. combine) IIC » TECHNOLOGIEPARK 3 » B-9052 ZWIJNAARDE (GENT) » www.outerthought.org 16

rowlog sharding» MQ and WAL tables tend to be smallish » MQ depends on performance of Solr indexing » WAL size = number of simultaneous operations» risk for contention (all data in one region)➡ introduction of RowLog sharding (Lily 1.1)➡ continuous puts/deletes on HBase table = not very efﬁcient ➙ long-term need to replace this IIC » TECHNOLOGIEPARK 3 » B-9052 ZWIJNAARDE (GENT) » www.outerthought.org 17

last words» RowLog library can be used independent from Lily (!) » part of the Lily source tree » Apache license » www.lilyproject.org» shameless plug: go and check out Lily, HBase+Solr- backed repository for content-centric apps IIC » TECHNOLOGIEPARK 3 » B-9052 ZWIJNAARDE (GENT) » www.outerthought.org 18
