meta infos for this blog

Source: html

Introduction: pNFS (parallel NFS) is the next generation of NFS and its main claim to fame is that it's clustered, which "enables clients to directly access file data spread over multiple storage servers in parallel. As a result, each client can leverage the full aggregate bandwidth of a clustered storage service at the granularity of an individual file." About pNFS StorageMojo says: pNFS is going to commoditize parallel data access. In 5 years we won’t know how we got along without it . Something to watch.

Introduction: What have bunch of applications which run on Debian servers, which processes huge amount of data stored in a shared NFS drive. we have 3 applications working as a pipeline, which process data stored in the NFS drive. The first application processes the data and store the output in some folder in the NFS drive, the second app in the pipeline process the data from the previous step and so on. The data load to the pipeline is like 1 GBytes per minute. I think the NFS drive is the bottleneck here. Would buying a specialized file server improve the performance of data read write from the disk ?

4 0.18540061 308 high scalability-2008-04-22-Simple NFS failover solution with symbolic link?

Introduction: I've been trying to find a high availability file storage solution without success. I tried GlusterFS which looks very promising but experienced problems with stability and don't want something I can't easily control and rely on. Other solutions are too complicated or have a SPOF. So I'm thinking of the following setup: Two NFS servers, a primary and a warm backup. The primary server will be rsynced with the warm backup every minute or two. I can do it so frequently as a PHP script will know which directories have changed recently from a database and only rsync those. Both servers will be NFS mounted on a cluster of web servers as /mnt/nfs-primary (sym linked as /home/websites) and /mnt/nfs-backup. I'll then use Ucarp (http://www.ucarp.org/project/ucarp) to monitor both NFS servers availability every couple of seconds and when one goes down, the Ucarp up script will be set to change the symbolic link on all web servers for the /home/websites dir from /mnt/nfs-primary to /mn

2 0.82507616 278 high scalability-2008-03-16-Product: GlusterFS

Introduction: Adapted from their website: GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86-64 server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA). Cluster file systems are still not mature for enterprise market. They are too complex to deploy and maintain though they are extremely scalable and cheap. Can be entirely built out of commodity OS and hardware. GlusterFS hopes to solves this problem. GlusterFS achieved 35 GBps read throughput . The GlusterFS Aggregated I/O Benchmark was performed on 64 bricks clustered storage system over 10 Gbps Infiniband interconnect. A cluster of 220 clients pounded the storage system with multiple dd (disk-dump) instances, each reading / writing a 1 GB file with 1MB block size. GlusterFS was configured with unify translator and round-robin scheduler

Introduction: There's a new clustered file system on the spindle: Kosmos File System (KFS) . Thanks to Rich Skrenta for turning me on to KFS and I think his blog post says it all. KFS is an open source project written in C++ by search startup Kosmix . The team members have a good pedigree so there's a better than average chance this software will be worth considering. After you stop trying to turn KFS into "Kentucky Fried File System" in your mind, take a look at KFS' intriguing feature set: Incremental scalability: New chunkserver nodes can be added as storage needs increase; the system automatically adapts to the new nodes. Availability: Replication is used to provide availability due to chunk server failures. Typically, files are replicated 3-way. Per file degree of replication: The degree of replication is configurable on a per file basis, with a max. limit of 64. Re-replication: Whenever the degree of replication for a file drops below the configured amount (

Introduction: The essence of my work is coming into daily contact with innovative technologies. A recent example was at the request of a partner company who wanted to answer- which one of these tools will best solve my virtualized datacenter headache? After initial analysis all the products could be classified as tools that troubleshoot VM sprawl, but there was no universally accepted term for them. The most descriptive term  that I found was Virtual Resource Manager (VRM) from  DynamicOps . As I delved deeper into their workings, the distinction between VRMs and Private Clouds became blurred.

In this case Robert is asking for help in an upcoming interview. Maybe we can help? Here's Robert's plight: I’m really freaked out.

Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic, the company behind WordPress (and behind this blog). Paul Bucheit, one of the founders of FriendFeed and the creator of Gmail (he’s also the guy who gave Google the “don’t be evil” admonishion).

5 0.81021756 981 high scalability-2011-02-01-Google Strategy: Tree Distribution of Requests and Responses

Introduction: If a large number of leaf node machines send requests to a central root node then that root node can become overwhelmed: The CPU becomes a bottleneck, for either processing requests or sending replies, because it can't possibly deal with the flood of requests. The network interface becomes a bottleneck because a wide fan-in causes TCP drops and retransmissions, which causes latency. Then clients start retrying requests which quickly causes a spiral of death in an undisciplined system. One solution to this problem is a strategy given by Dr.  Jeff Dean , Head of Google's School of Infrastructure Wizardry, in this  Stanford video presentation : Tree Distribution of Requests and Responses . Instead of having a root node connected to leaves in a flat topology, the idea is to create a tree of nodes. So a root node talks to a number of parent nodes and the parent nodes talk to a number of leaf nodes. Requests are pushed down the tree through the parents and only hit a subset
