5. You? Distributed systems?

6. You? Distributed systems? ?

7. You? Distributed systems? ? ?

8. What is this talk about? The network. ! How to think about distributed systems. ! Some healthy madness. Code in slides covers only “simplest possible case”.

9. Ordering[T] Slightly chronological. ! By no means is it “worst to best”.

10. Consensus

11. Consensus - informal “we all agree on something”

12. Consensus - formal Termination Every correct process decides some value. ! Validity If all correct processes propose the same value v, then all correct processes decide v. ! Integrity If a correct process decides v, then v must have been proposed by some correct process. ! Agreement Every correct process must agree on the same value.

15. Distributed Consensus

16. Distributed Consensus What is a distributed system anyway?

17. Distributed system definition A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable. — Leslie Lamport http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/pubs/distributed-system.txt

18. Distributed system definition A system in which participants communicate asynchronously using messages. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/pubs/distributed-system.txt

19. Distributed Systems - failure detection

21. Distributed Systems - failure detection Jim had quit CorpSoft a while ago, but no-one ever told Bob…

23. Distributed Systems - failure detection Failure detection: • can only rely on external knowledge • but what if there’s no-one to tell you? • thus: must be in-some-way time based

24. Two Generals Problem

25. Two Generals Problem Yellow and Blue armies must attack Pink City. They must attack together, otherwise they’ll die in vain. Now they must agree on the exact time of the attack. ! They can only send messengers, which Pink may intercept and kill.

26. Two Generals Problem

27. Two Generals Problem - happy case I need to inform blue about my attack plan. I don’t know when yellow will attack…

28. Two Generals Problem - happy case

29. 1) Initial message not lost

30. Two Generals Problem - happy case I don’t know if Blue will also attack at 13:37… I’ll wait until I hear back from him.

31. Two Generals Problem - happy case I don’t know if Blue will also attack at 13:37… I’ll wait until I hear back from him. Why?

32. 2) Message might have not reached blue

33. Blue must confirm the reception of the command

34. 1) Yellow is now sure, but Blue isn’t!

35. 1) Yellow is now sure, but Blue isn’t! Why?

36. 2) Blue’s confirmation might have been lost!

37. This is exactly mirrors the initial situation!

38. 2 Generals Problem Translated to Akka

39. 2 Generals translated to Akka: Akka Actors implement the Actor Model: ! Actors: • communicate via messages • create other actors • change their behaviour on receiving a msg !

40. 2 Generals translated to Akka: Akka Actors implement the Actor Model: ! Actors: • communicate via messages • create other actors • change their behaviour on receiving a msg ! Gains? Distribution / separation / modelling abstraction

47. 8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing

48. 8 Fallacies of Distributed Computing 1. The network is reliable. 2. Latency is zero. 3. Bandwidth is infinite. 4. The network is secure. 5. Topology doesn’t change. 6. There is one administrator. 7. Transport cost is zero. 8. The network is homogeneous. Peter Deutsch “The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing” https://blogs.oracle.com/jag/resource/Fallacies.html

49. Failure Models

50. Failure models: Fail – Stop Fail – Recover Byzantine

54. 2-phase commit

55. 2PC - step 1: Propose value

56. 2PC - step 1: Propose value

57. 2PC - step 1: Promise to agree on write

58. 2PC - step 2: Commit the write

59. 2PC - step 1: Propose value, and die

60. 2PC - step 1: Propose value to 1 node, and die

61. 2PC: Prepare needs timeouts

62. 2PC: Timeouts + recovery committer

67. Still can’t tolerate if the “accepted value” Actor dies

70. 2 Phase Commit translated to Akka

94. Paxos

95. Basic Paxos = “choose exactly one value”

96. Paxos - photo by Luigi Piazzi

97. Paxos: a high-level overview It’s the distributed systems algorithm

98. Paxos: a high-level overview JavaZone had a full session on Paxos already today…

99. A few Paxos whitepapers "Reaching Agreement in the Presence of Faults” – Lamport, 1980 … “FLP Impossibility Result” – Fisher et al, 1985 “The Part Time Parliament” – Lamport, 1998 … “Paxos made Simple” – Lamport, 2001 “Fast Paxos” – Lamport, 2005 … “Paxos made Live” – Chandra et al, 2007 … “Paxos made Moderately Complex” – Rennesse, 2011 ;-)

100. Lamport’s “Replicated State Machine”

101. Paxos: The cast

107. ! Consensus time! Chose a value (raise your hand)

108. Consensus time! Chose a value (raise your hand): v1 = Basic Paxos + Raft v2 = Just Raft

111. Consensus time! Chose a value (raise your hand): v1 = Basic Paxos + Raft v2 = Just Raft (if enough time, Paxos)

112. Basic Paxos simple example

113. Paxos: Proposals ProposalNr must: • be greaterThan any prev proposalNr used by this Proposer • example: [roundNr|serverId]

114. Paxos: 2 phases Phase 1: Prepare Phase 2: Accept

115. Paxos, Prepare Phase n = nextSeqNr()

116. Paxos, Prepare Phase acceptors ! Prepare(n, value)

117. Paxos, Prepare Phase case Prepare(n, value) =>! if (n > minProposal) {! minProposal = n! accVal = value! }! ! sender() ! Accepted(minProposal, accVal)

118. Paxos, Prepare Phase case Prepare(n, value) =>! if (n > minProposal) {! minProposal = n! accVal = value! }! ! sender() ! Accepted(minProposal, accVal)

119. Paxos, Prepare Phase value = highestN(responses).accVal ! // replace my value, with accepted value!

120. Paxos, Accept Phase acceptors ! Accept(n, value)

121. Paxos, Accept Phase case Accept(n, value) =>! if (n >= minProposal) {! acceptedProposal = minProposal = n! acceptedValue = value! }! ! learners ! Learn(value)! sender() ! minProposal

122. Paxos, Accept Phase

123. Paxos, Accept Phase

124. Paxos, Accept Phase if (acceptedN > n) restartPaxos()! else println(n + “ was chosen!”)

125. Basic Paxos Basic Paxos, needs extensions for the “real world”. Additions: • “stable leader” • performance (basic = 2 * broadcast roundtrip) • ensure full replication • configuration changes

126. Multi Paxos

127. Multi Paxos “Basically everyone does it, but everyone does it differently.”

128. Multi Paxos • Keeps the Leader • Clients find and talk to the Leader • Skips Phase 1, in stable state • 2 delays instead of 4, until learning a value

129. Raft

130. Raft – inspired by Paxos Paxos is great. Multi-Paxos is great, but no “common understanding”. ! ! Raft wants to be understandable and just as solid. "In search of an understandable consensus protocol" (2013)

131. Raft – inspired by Paxos ! ! • Leader based • Less processes than Paxos • It’s goal is simplicity • “Basic” includes snapshotting / membership

132. Raft - summarised on one page Diego Ongaro & John Ouserhout – In search of an understandable consensus protocol
