  • Beyond Relational Databases
    EXPERT ANALYSIS BY MARCOS ALBE, SUPPORT ENGINEER, PERCONA Beyond Relational Databases: A Focus on Redis, MongoDB, and ClickHouse Many of us use and love relational databases… until we try and use them for purposes which aren’t their strong point. Queues, caches, catalogs, unstructured data, counters, and many other use cases, can be solved with relational databases, but are better served by alternative options. In this expert analysis, we examine the goals, pros and cons, and the good and bad use cases of the most popular alternatives on the market, and look into some modern open source implementations. Beyond Relational Databases Developers frequently choose the backend store for the applications they produce. Amidst dozens of options, buzzwords, industry preferences, and vendor offers, it’s not always easy to make the right choice… Even with a map! !# O# d# "# a# `# @R*7-# @94FA6)6 =F(*I-76#A4+)74/*2(:# ( JA$:+49>)# &-)6+16F-# (M#@E61>-#W6e6# &6EH#;)7-6<+# &6EH# J(7)(:X(78+# !"#$%&'( S-76I6)6#'4+)-:-7# A((E-N# ##@E61>-#;E678# ;)762(# .01.%2%+'.('.$%,3( @E61>-#;(F7# D((9F-#=F(*I## =(:c*-:)U@E61>-#W6e6# @F2+16F-# G*/(F-# @Q;# $%&## @R*7-## A6)6S(77-:)U@E61>-#@E-N# K4E-F4:-A%# A6)6E7(1# %49$:+49>)+# @E61>-#'*1-:-# @E61>-#;6<R6# L&H# A6)6#'68-# $%&#@:6F521+#M(7#@E61>-#;E678# .761F-#;)7-6<#LNEF(7-7# S-76I6)6#=F(*I# A6)6/7418+# @ !"#$%&'( ;H=JO# ;(\X67-#@D# M(7#J6I((E# .761F-#%49#A6)6#=F(*I# @ )*&+',"-.%/( S$%=.#;)7-6<%6+-# =F(*I-76# LF6+21+-671># ;G';)7-6<# LF6+21#[(*:I# @E61>-#;"# @E61>-#;)(7<# H618+E61-# *&'+,"#$%&'$#( .761F-#%49#A6)6#@EEF46:1-#

Multi-region data replication Enterprise grade software Applications send network requests against an Oracle NoSQL data store to and support perform database operations. With multi-region tables, data can be globally distributed and automatically replicated in real-time across different regions. Data can be modeled as fixed-schema tables, documents, key-value pairs, and large objects. Different data models interoperate with each other through a single programming interface. Oracle NoSQL Database is a sharded, shared-nothing system which distributes data uniformly across multiple shards in a NoSQL database cluster, based on the hashed value of the primary keys. An Oracle NoSQL Database data store is a collection of storage nodes, each of which hosts one or more replication nodes. Data is automatically populated across these replication nodes by internal replication mechanisms to ensure high availability and rapid failover in the event of a storage node failure.

  • Object Databases As Data Stores for High Energy Physics
    OBJECT DATABASES AS DATA STORES FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS Dirk Düllmann CERN IT/ASD & RD45, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract Starting from 2005, the LHC experiments will generate an unprecedented amount of data. Some 100 Peta-Bytes of event, calibration and analysis data will be stored and have to be analysed in a world-wide distributed environment. At CERN the RD45 project has been set-up in 1995 to investigate different approaches to solve the data storage problems at LHC. The focus of RD45 soon moved to the use of Object Database Management Systems (ODBMS) as a central component. This paper gives an overview of the main advantages of ODBMS systems for HEP data stores. Several prototype and production applications will be discussed and a summary of the current use of ODBMS based systems in HEP will be presented. The second part will concentrate on physics data analysis based on an ODBMS. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Data Management at LHC The new experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will gather an unprecedented amount of data. Starting from 2005 each of the four LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb will measure of the order of 1 Peta Byte (1015 Bytes) per year. All together the experiments will store and repeatedly analyse some 100 PB of data during their lifetimes. Such an enormous task can only be accomplished by large international collaborations. Thousands of physicists from hundreds of institutes world-wide will participate. This also implies that nearly any available hardware platform will be used resulting in a truly heterogeneous and distributed system.

  • Object Persistence
    Object Persistence Object Oriented Programming Introduction • One of the most critical tasks that applications have to perform is to save and restore data • Persistence is the storage of data from working memory so that it can be restored when the application is run again • In object-oriented systems, there are several ways in which objects can be made persistent • The choice of persistence method is an important part of the design of an application Object Oriented Programming Object Serialization Object Oriented Programming Object Serialization • Simple persistence method which provides a program the ability to read or write a whole object to and from a stream of bytes • Allows Java objects to be encoded into a byte stream suitable for streaming to a file on disk or over a network • The class must implement the Serializable interface (java.io.Serializable), which does not declare any methods, and have accessors and mutators for its attributes Object Oriented Programming Object Serialization // create output stream File file = new File("teams_serialize.ser"); String fullPath = file.getAbsolutePath(); fos = new FileOutputStream(fullPath); // open output stream and store team t1 out = new ObjectOutputStream(fos); out.writeObject(t1); Object Oriented Programming Using Databases • Most Client-Server applications use a RDBMS as their data store while using an object-oriented programming language for development • Objects must be mapped to tables in the database and vice versa • Applications generally require the use of SQL statements embedded

  • Nosql Databases
    NoSQL Databases Ziqi Li Spatial Analysis Research Center, School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning, Arizona State University Citation Li, Z. (2018). NoSQL Databases. The Geographic Information Science & Technology Body of Knowledge (2nd Quarter 2018 Edition), John P. Wilson (Ed). DOI: 10.22224/gistbok/2018.2.4 Abstract NoSQL databases are open-source, schema-less, horizontally scalable and high-performance databases. These characteristics make them very different from relational databases, the traditional choice for spatial data. The four types of data stores in NoSQL databases (key-value store, document store, column store, and graph store) contribute to significant flexibility for a range of applications. NoSQL databases are well suited to handle typical challenges of big data, including volume, variety, and velocity. For these reasons, they are increasingly adopted in private industries and for research. They have gained tremendous popularity in the last decade due to the boom of unstructured data (e.g. social media data). 1. Overview of NoSQL databases Relational databases, originally proposed by E. F. Codd (1970), have been the primary data storage solution for decades. In a relational database, Structured Query Language (SQL) is the standard language for storing, manipulating and retrieving data, thus they are also referred to as SQL databases. As an alternative, NoSQL databases store data in a non-tabular way, different from a relational database. Originally named with reference to Non-SQL/Non-relational databases, nowadays people consider NoSQL as “not only SQL”, emphasizing that a NoSQL database is able to perform as a SQL database but also supports advanced functionalities that a traditional SQL database does not.

  • Running Databases in a Kubernetes Cluster
    RUNNING DATABASES IN A KUBERNETES CLUSTER An evaluation Olle Larsson Master esis, 30 credits Supervisor: Johan Tordsson External supervisor: Johan Tordsson Civilingenjorsprogrammet¨ i teknisk datavetenskap 2019 Abstract A recent trend in soware engineering is to build applications composed of a set of small independent services – microservices. Kubernetes has become the common denominator for hosting stateless microservices. It oers foundational features such as deployment and replication of microservices as well as cluster resource management. Whereas stateless microservices are well suited to be- ing hosted in Kubernetes, stateful microservices such as databases are generally hosted outside of Kubernetes and managed by domain experts. It is desirable to run stateful services such as databases in Kubernetes to leverage its features, ease of operation, and to harmonize the environment across the entire applica- tion stack. e purpose of this thesis is to investigate and evaluate the current support for hosting stateful applications in the form of databases in Kubernetes, and to show how dierent databases are able to operate in Kubernets. An ex- perimental setup was used where a set of databases – MySQL, TiDB, and Cock- roachDB, were deployed in a Kubernetes cluster. For each of these databases, a set of operational tasks were performed that concerned backup, upgrading, and capacity re-scaling. During the operations a number of server-sided and client- sided metrics related to the performance and resource eciency of the databases were captured. e results showed that Kubernetes has got the native capabil- ities necessary to deploy and run databases, but not to fully operate them cor- rectly. Furthermore, it was concluded that the operations had a widely dierent performance impact depending on the database solution.

  • A Novel Global Key-Value Storage System Based on Kinetic Drives †
    algorithms Article A Novel Global Key-Value Storage System Based on Kinetic Drives † Xiang Cao * and Cheng Li School of Computing and Information Systems, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † This paper is an extended version of our paper published in the 20th Int’l Conf on Internet Computing and Internet of Things (ICOMP’19), Las Vegas, NV, USA, 29 July–1 August 2019. Received: 7 June 2020; Accepted: 24 September 2020; Published: 29 September 2020 Abstract: NoSQL databases are flexible and efficient for many data intensive applications, and the key-value store is one of them. In recent years, a new Ethernet accessed disk drive called the “Kinetic Drive” was developed by Seagate. This new Kinetic Drive is specially designed for key-value stores. Users can directly access data with a Kinetic Drive via its IP address without going through a storage server/layer. With this new innovation, the storage stack and architectures of key-value store systems have been greatly changed. In this paper, we propose a novel global key-value store system based on Kinetic Drives. We explore data management issues including data access, key indexing, data backup, and recovery. We offer scalable solutions with small storage overhead. The performance evaluation shows that our location-aware design and backup approach can reduce the average distance traveled for data access requests. Keywords: NoSQL database; key-value store; kinetic drive; key indexing; global scale 1. Introduction Currently, with more and more data being generated every day at a rapid rate, Big Data applications are very popular.
