DESCRIPTION

SFJava, SFNoSQL, SFMySQL, Marakana & Microsoft come together for a presentation evening of three NoSQL technologies - Apache Cassandra, Mongodb, Hadoop. This talk lays out a few talking points for Apache Cassandra.

TRANSCRIPT

Apache Cassandra: NoSQL, Yes to Scale!

NoSQL -Know your queries.

points

• Usecases• Why cassandra?• Usecase: Hadoop, Brisk• FUD: Consistency • Why facebook is not using Cassandra?• Community, Code, Tools• Q&A

Users. Netflix.Key by Customer, read-heavyKey by Customer:Movie, write-heavy

TimeSeries: (several customers)periodic readings: dev0, dev1…deviceID:metric:timestamp ->value

Metrics typically way larger dataset than users.

Why Cassandra?

Operational simplicity peer-to-peer

Operational simplicity peer-to-peer

Replication: Multi-datacenterMulti-region ec2Multi-availability zones

Replication: Multi-datacenterMulti-region ec2, awsMulti-availability zones

reads local

“Movie marathons on Netflix awaiting AWS to come back up.” #ec2disabled

4.21.2011, Amazon Web Services outage:

Netflix was running on AWS.

4.21.2011, Amazon Web Services outage:

fast durable writes. fast reads.

Writes Sequential, append-only.~1-5ms

Reads Local Key & row caches, (also, jna-based 0xffheap) indexes, materialized

Clients: cql, thrift pycassa, phpcassa hector, pelops (scala, ruby, clojure)

Usecase #3: hadoopHdfs cassandra hiveLogs stats analytics

BriskTruly peer-to-peer hadoop.

Namenode decomposition, explained.

Use column families (tables)inodesblock

near-real time hadoopLow latency: cassandra_dc nodesBatch Analytics: brisk_dc nodes

FUD, acronym: fear, uncertainty, doubt.

Consistency: R + W > N ORACLE, 2-node: R=1, W=2, N=2,(T=2)DNS

* N is replication factor. Not to be confused with T=total #of nodes

Tune-able, flexibility.For High Consistency:

read:quorum, write:quorumFor High Availability:

high W, low R.

Inbox Search: 600+cores.120+TB (2008)Went from 100-500m users.

Average NoSQL deployment size: ~6-12 nodes.

Usecase #5: searchApache Solr + Cassandra = Solandra

“Eventual consistency is harder to program.”mostly immutable data.complex systems at scale.

Miscellaneous, Myth: data-loss, partial rows.writes are durable.

Three more reasons for Cassandra...

CommunityRobust. Rapid. #Professional support from DataStax.

Come join the efforts!

Usecase #4: first NoSQL, then scale!simpledb Cassandra mongodb Cassandra
