NoSQL Introduction, Theory, Implementations
- 1. NOSQL THEORY, IMPLEMENTATION S, AN INTRODUCTION FIRAT ATAGUN firat@yahoo-inc.com http://firatatagun.com
- 2. NoSQL What does it mean? Not Only SQL.
- 3. Use Cases Massive write performance. Fast key value look ups. Flexible schema and data types. No single point of failure. Fast prototyping and development. Out of the box scalability. Easy maintenance.
- 4. Motives Behind NoSQL Big data. Scalability. Data format. Manageability.
- 5. Big Data Collect. Store. Organize. Analyze. Share. Data growth outruns the ability to manage it so we need scalable solutions.
- 6. Scalability Scale up, Vertical scalability. Increasing server capacity. Adding more CPU, RAM. Managing is hard. Possible down times
- 7. Scalability Scale out, Horizontal scalability. Adding servers to existing system with little effort, aka Elastically scalable. Shared nothing. Use of commodity/cheap hardware. Heterogeneous systems. Controlled Concurrency (avoid locks). Service Oriented Architecture. Local states. Bugs, hardware errors, things fail all the time. It should become cheaper. Cost efficiency. Decentralized to reduce bottlenecks. Avoid Single point of failures. Asynchrony. Symmetry, you don’t have to know what is happening. All nodes should be symmetric.
- 8. What is Wrong With RDBMS? Nothing. One size fits all? Not really. Impedance mismatch. Object Relational Mapping doesn't work quite well. Rigid schema design. Harder to scale. Replication. Joins across multiple nodes? Hard. How does RDMS handle data growth? Hard. Need for a DBA. Many programmers are already familiar with it. Transactions and ACID make development easy. Lots of tools to use.
- 9. ACID Semantics Atomicity: All or nothing. Consistency: Consistent state of data and transactions. Isolation: Transactions are isolated from each other. Durability: When the transaction is committed, state will be durable. Any data store can achieve Atomicity, Isolation and Durability but do you always need consistency? No. By giving up ACID properties, one can achieve higher performance and scalability.
- 10. Enter CAP Theorem Also known as Brewer’s Theorem by Prof. Eric Brewer, published in 2000 at University of Berkeley. “Of three properties of a shared data system: data consistency, system availability and tolerance to network partitions, only two can be achieved at any given moment.” Proven by Nancy Lynch et al. MIT labs. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~brewer/cs262b-2004/PODC-keynote.pdf
- 11. CAP Semantics Consistency: Clients should read the same data. There are many levels of consistency. Consistency – RDBMS. Tunable Consistency – Cassandra. Eventual Consistency – Amazon Dynamo. Strict Availability: Data to be available. Partial Tolerance: Data to be partitioned across network segments due to network failures.
- 12. A Simple Proof Consistent and available No partition. App Data A Data B
- 13. A Simple Proof Available and partitioned Not consistent, we get back old data. App Data A Old Data B
- 14. A Simple Proof Consistent and partitioned Not available, waiting… App New Data Wait for new data A B
- 15. BASE, an ACID Alternative Almost the opposite of ACID. Basically available: Nodes in the a distributed environment can go down, but the whole system shouldn’t be affected. Soft State (scalable): The state of the system and data changes over time. Eventual Consistency: Given enough time, data will be consistent across the distributed system.
- 16. A Clash of cultures ACID: • Strong consistency. • Less availability. • Pessimistic concurrency. • Complex. BASE: • Availability is the most important thing. Willing to sacrifice for this (CAP). • Weaker consistency (Eventual). • Best effort. • Simple and fast. • Optimistic.
- 17. Distributed Transactions Two phase commit. Starbucks doesn’t use two phase commit by Gregor Hophe. Possible failures Network errors. Node errors. Database errors. Commit Rollback Coordinator Acknowledge Problems: Locking the entire cluster if one node is down Possible to implement timeouts. Possible to use Quorum. Quorum: in a distributed environment, if there is partition, then the nodes vote to commit or rollback. Complete operation Release locks
- 18. Consistent Hashing Solves Partitioning Problem. Consistent Hashing, Memcahced. servers = [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5] serverToSendData = servers[hash(data) % servers.length] A New Hope Continuum Approach. Virtual Nodes in a cycle.

- 19. Concurrency models Optimistic concurrency. Pessimistic concurrency. MVCC.
- 20. Vector Clocks Used for conflict detection of data. Timestamp based resolution of conflicts is not enough. Time 1: Time 2: Replicated Time 3: Update Time 4: Update Time 5: Replicated Conflict detection
- 21. Vector Clocks Document.v.1([A, 1]) A Update Document.v.2([A, 2]) Document.v.2([A, 2],[B,1]) A B C Conflicts are detected. Document.v.2([A, 2],[C,1])
- 22. Read Repair Value = Data.v2 Client GET (K, Q=2) Value = Data.v2 Update K = Data.v2 Value = Data.v1
- 23. Gossip Protocol & Hinted Handoffs Most preferred communication protocol in a distributed environment is Gossip Protocol. D A G H • All the nodes talk to each other peer wise. • There is no global state. • No single point of coordinator. • If one node goes down and there is a Quorum load for that node is shared among others. • Self managing system. • If a new node joins, load is also distributed. B C F Requests coming to F will be handled by the nodes who takes the load of F, lets say C with the hint that it took the requests which was for F, when F becomes available, F will get this Information from C. Self healing property.
- 24. Data Models Key/Value Pairs. Tuples (rows). Documents. Columns. Objects. Graphs. There are corresponding data stores.
- 25. Complexity
- 26. Key-Value Stores Memcached – Key value stores. Membase – Memcached with persistence and improved consistent hashing. AppFabric Cache – Multi region Cache. Redis – Data structure server. Riak – Based on Amazon’s Dynamo. Project Voldemort – eventual consistent key value stores, auto scaling.
- 27. Memcached Very easy to setup and use. Consistent hashing. Scales very well. In memory caching, no persistence. LRU eviction policy. O(1) to set/get/delete. Atomic operations set/get/delete. No iterators, or very difficult.
- 28. Membase Easy to manage via web console. Monitoring and management via Web console. Consistency and Availability. Dynamic/Linear Scalability, add a node, hit join to cluster and rebalance. Low latency, high throughput. Compatible with current Memcached Clients. Data Durability, persistent to disk asynchronously. Rebalancing (Peer to peer replication). Fail over (Master/Slave). vBuckets are used for consistent hashing. O(1) to set/get/delete.
- 29. Redis Distributed Data structure server. Consistent hashing at client. Non-blocking I/O, single threaded. Values are binary safe strings: byte strings. String : Key/Value Pair, set/get. O(1) many string operations. Lists: lpush, lpop, rpush, rpop.you can use it as stack or queue. O(1). Publisher/Subscriber is available. Set: Collection of Unique elements, add, pop, union, intersection etc. set operations. Sorted Set: Unique elements sorted by scores. O(logn). Supports range operations. Hashes: Multiple Key/Value pairs HMSET user 1 username foo password bar age 30 HGET user 1 age
- 30. Microsoft AppFabric Add a node to the cluster easily. Elastic scalability. Namespaces to organize different caches. LRU Eviction policy. Timeout/Time to live is default to 10 min. No persistence. O(1) to set/get/delete. Optimistic and pessimistic concurrency. Supports tagging.
- 31. Document Stores Schema Free. Usually JSON like interchange model. Query Model: JavaScript or custom. Aggregations: Map/Reduce. Indexes are done via B-Trees.
- 32. Mongodb Data types: bool, int, double, string, object(bson), oid, array, null, d ate. Database and collections are created automatically. Lots of Language Drivers. Capped collections are fixed size collections, buffers, very fast, FIFO, good for logs. No indexes. Object id are generated by client, 12 bytes packed data. 4 byte time, 3 byte machine, 2 byte pid, 3 byte counter. Possible to refer other documents in different collections but more efficient to embed documents. Replication is very easy to setup. You can read from
- 33. Mongodb Connection pooling is done for you. Sweet. Supports aggregation. Map Reduce with JavaScript. You have indexes, B-Trees. Ids are always indexed. Updates are atomic. Low contention locks. Querying mongo done with a document: Lazy, returns a cursor. Reduceable to SQL, select, insert, update limit, sort etc. Several operators: There is more: upsert (either inserts of updates) $ne, $and, $or, $lt, $gt, $incr,$decr and so on. Repository Pattern makes development very easy.
- 34. Mongodb - Sharding Config servers: Keeps mapping Mongos: Routing servers Mongod: master-slave replicas
- 35. Couchdb Availability and Partial Tolerance. Views are used to query. Map/Reduce. MVCC – Multiple Concurrent versions. No locks. A little overhead with this approach due to garbage collection. Conflict resolution. Very simple, REST based. Schema Free. Shared nothing, seamless peer based Bi-Directional replication. Auto Compaction. Manual with Mongodb. Uses B-Trees Documents and indexes are kept in memory and flushed to disc periodically. Documents have states, in case of a failure, recovery can continue from the state documents were left. No built in auto-sharding, there are open source projects. You can’t define your indexes.
- 37. Objectivity No need for ORM. Closer to OOP. Complex data modeling. Schema evolution. Scalable Collections: List, Set, Map. Object relations. Bi-Directional relations ACID properties. Blazingly fast, uses paging. Supports replication and clustering.
- 38. Column Stores Row oriented Id username email Department 1 John john@foo.com Sales 2 Mary mary@foo.com Marketing 3 Yoda yoda@foo.com IT Column oriented Id Username email Department 1 John john@foo.com Sales 2 Mary mary@foo.com Marketing 3 Yoda yoda@foo.com IT
- 39. Cassandra Tunable consistency. Decentralized. Writes are faster than reads. No Single point of failure. Incremental scalability. Uses consistent hashing (logical partitioning) when clustered. Hinted handoffs. Peer to peer routing(ring). Thrift API. Multi data center support.
- 41. Graph Stores Based on Graph Theory. Scale vertically, no clustering. You can use graph algorithms easily.
- 42. Neo4J Nodes, Relationship. Traversals. HTTP/REST. ACID. Web Admin. Not too much support for languages. Has transactions.
- 43. Which one to use? Key-value stores: Document databases: Quirky stuff. Columnar: Complex object models. Data Structure Server: OLTP. SQL. Transactions. Relations. OODBMS Natural data modeling. Programmer friendly. Rapid development. Web friendly, CRUD. RDMBS: Processing a constant stream of small reads and writes. Handles size well. Massive write loads. High availability. Multiple-data centers. MapReduce Graph: Graph algorithms and relations.
