An overview of Postgres-XC is provided. Postgres-XC is a free, open source, PostgreSQL based write scalable cluster. It runs on multiple servers, is fully ACID and consistent. Postgres-XC is a traditional relational alternative to cases where NoSQL solutions are being considered.
This presentation was given in San Francisco August 7th by Mason Sharp, one of the original architects of Postgres-XC and co-founder of StormDB (http://www.stormdb.com).
This document summarizes the challenges and solutions for maintaining large PostgreSQL databases at Emma, including:
- Maintaining terabytes of data across multiple clusters up to version 9.0
- Facing performance issues when the hardware load was pushed to its limits
- Dealing with huge catalogs containing millions of data points that caused slow performance
- Addressing problems like bloat, backups that took hours, system resource exhaustion, and transaction wraparound issues
- Implementing solutions such as scripts to clean up bloat, sharding to a Linux filesystem, and increasing autovacuum thresholds
This document summarizes and compares several popular distributed database technologies: MySQL Cluster, MariaDB Galera Cluster, and Percona XtraDB Cluster. All three use synchronous multi-master replication and share-nothing architectures. MySQL Cluster has additional features like auto-sharding but lacks automatic node provisioning. Both MariaDB Galera Cluster and Percona XtraDB Cluster provide automatic node provisioning and support only SQL, while MySQL Cluster supports both SQL and NoSQL APIs. Performance tests show Galera generally outperforms NDB with fewer threads but NDB scales better as threads increase.

This document discusses using GlusterFS for Hadoop. GlusterFS is an open-source distributed file system that aggregates storage and provides a unified namespace. It can be used as the storage layer for Hadoop, replacing HDFS. Using GlusterFS provides advantages like a POSIX-compliant file system, ability to use the same storage for MapReduce and application data, and features like geo-replication and erasure coding. GlusterFS also integrates with projects like Apache Spark, Ambari, and OpenStack.
"Data classification" is an umbrella term covering things: locality-aware data placement, SSD/disk or normal/deduplicated/erasure-coded data tiering, HSM, etc. They share most of the same infrastructure, and so are proposed (for now) as a single feature.
Red Hat Storage - Introduction to GlusterFSGlusterFS
Red Hat Storage introduces GlusterFS, an open source scale-out file system. GlusterFS provides scalable, affordable storage using commodity hardware. It allows linearly scaling performance and capacity by adding servers. GlusterFS has a global namespace and supports various protocols, enabling flexible deployment across private and public clouds. Many enterprises rely on GlusterFS for applications, virtual machines, Hadoop, and hybrid cloud solutions.
Gluster is an open-source distributed scale-out storage system. It uses commodity hardware and has no centralized metadata server. Key concepts include bricks (storage units on servers), volumes (logical collections of bricks), and a trusted storage pool of nodes. Main volume types are distributed, replicated, distributed replicated, and striped. To set up Gluster, install packages, start services, create a storage pool, make volumes, and mount them on clients.
Gluster tiering allows for the logical composition of diverse storage units like SSDs and HDDs. It uses fast storage like SSDs as a cache for slower storage like HDDs. Files are migrated between tiers based on usage patterns to optimize for access speeds. The tiering implementation in Gluster uses a metadata store and changetime recorder to track file access and make decisions about tier migrations. Integration with the Gluster distributed hash table and volume rebalancing process allows for dynamic attaching and detaching of tiers.
This document provides an overview of Postgresql, including its history, capabilities, advantages over other databases, best practices, and references for further learning. Postgresql is an open source relational database management system that has been in development for over 30 years. It offers rich SQL support, high performance, ACID transactions, and extensive extensibility through features like JSON, XML, and programming languages.
GlusterFS is a distributed file system that shards and replicates files across multiple servers without a central metadata server. It uses modular "translators" to handle functions like replication and distribution. Some challenges GlusterFS faces include multi-tenancy, distributed quota management, efficient data rebalancing, reducing replication latency, optimizing directory traversal, and handling many small files. The speaker argues these challenges are not unique to GlusterFS and that incremental, modular improvements are preferable to monolithic solutions.
The document provides an overview and future directions of Gluster distributed storage system. It discusses why Gluster is useful given increasing data volumes. It defines Gluster as a scale-out distributed storage system that aggregates storage over a network to provide a unified namespace. It outlines typical deployments and architecture, and describes various volume types like distributed, replicated, dispersed. It also covers access mechanisms, features, use cases and monitoring integration. Finally, it discusses recent releases and new features in development like data tiering, bitrot detection and sharding to improve performance and capabilities.

The database world is undergoing a major upheaval. NoSQL databases such as MongoDB and Cassandra are emerging as a compelling choice for many applications. They can simplify the persistence of complex data models and offering significantly better scalability and performance. But these databases have a very different and unfamiliar data model and APIs as well as a limited transaction model. Moreover, the relational world is fighting back with so-called NewSQL databases such as VoltDB, which by using a radically different architecture offers high scalability and performance as well as the familiar relational model and ACID transactions. Sounds great but unlike the traditional relational database you can't use JDBC and must partition your data.
In this presentation you will learn about popular NoSQL databases - MongoDB, and Cassandra - as well at VoltDB. We will compare and contrast each database's data model and Java API using NoSQL and NewSQL versions of a use case from the book POJOs in Action. We will learn about the benefits and drawbacks of using NoSQL and NewSQL databases.
CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database that aims for scalability, strong consistency, and survivability. It implements a distributed key-value store and translates SQL queries into key-value operations. Data is partitioned into ranges that are replicated across multiple nodes for fault tolerance. Transactions are executed using a two-phase commit process to maintain strong consistency across the distributed database.
This document discusses distributed Postgres including multi-master replication, distributed transactions, and high availability/auto failover. It explores existing implementations like Postgres-XC and proposes a transaction manager API and time-stamp based approach to enable distributed transactions without a central bottleneck. The document also outlines a multimaster implementation built on logical replication, a transaction replay pool, and Raft-based storage for failure handling and distributed deadlocks. Performance is approximately half of standalone Postgres with the same read speeds and capabilities for node recovery and network partition handling.
This document discusses using PostgreSQL with Amazon RDS. It begins with an introduction to Amazon RDS and then discusses setting up a PostgreSQL RDS instance, available features like backups and monitoring, limitations, pricing, and references for further reading. The document is intended to provide an overview of deploying and managing PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS.
The document discusses scaling Postgres databases. It covers vertical and horizontal scaling techniques. Vertical scaling involves upgrading hardware resources like CPU, RAM and storage, while horizontal scaling involves adding multiple servers. The document provides tips for optimizing Postgres configuration, monitoring performance, and tuning queries.
Postgres-XC is a shared-nothing PostgreSQL cluster that scales horizontally by distributing data across multiple nodes. It supports both replicated and distributed tables. Replicated tables store each row on all nodes, while distributed tables store each row on a single node according to the distribution strategy. The document discusses Postgres-XC's architecture, data distribution techniques, query processing, and provides an example of how to distribute the tables in the TPC-B benchmark schema for optimal performance.
About Flexible Indexing
Postgres’ rich variety of data structures and data-type specific indexes can be confusing for newer and experienced Postgres users alike who may be unsure when and how to use them. For example, gin indexing specializes in the rapid lookup of keys with many duplicates — an area where traditional btree indexes perform poorly. This is particularly useful for json and full text searching. GiST allows for efficient indexing of two-dimensional values and range types.

The document discusses the SQL standard and its components. It describes how SQL is used to define schemas, manipulate data, write queries involving single or multiple tables, and perform other operations. Key topics covered include data definition language, data manipulation language, data types, integrity constraints, queries, subqueries, and set operations in SQL. Examples of SQL commands for creating tables, inserting data, and writing various types of queries are also provided.
Best Practices for Database Schema DesignIron Speed
The document provides best practices for database schema design to optimize use with the Iron Speed Designer application development tool. It recommends normalizing data, using separate lookup tables, declaring primary and foreign keys, creating views and indexes, and using naming conventions. Following these practices results in Iron Speed Designer generating more sophisticated and easily maintained web applications from the database schema.
Normalizing a database involves organizing data to:
1) Avoid duplicate values and inconsistent dependencies by separating data into multiple tables.
2) Ensure each table describes a single entity or "thing".
3) Achieve third normal form where data is organized into tables such that each non-key attribute is dependent only on the primary key.

Josh Berkus
Most users know that PostgreSQL has a 23-year development history. But did you know that Postgres code is used for over a dozen other database systems? Thanks to our liberal licensing, many companies and open source projects over the years have taken the Postgres or PostgreSQL code, changed it, added things to it, and/or merged it into something else. Illustra, Truviso, Aster, Greenplum, and others have seen the value of Postgres not just as a database but as some darned good code they could use. We'll explore the lineage of these forks, and go into the details of some of the more interesting ones.
MongoDB and Redis are popular NoSQL alternatives to SQL databases. MongoDB is a document-oriented database that does not require a predefined schema and allows embedding documents. It supports features like sharding, replication, and indexing. Redis is an in-memory key-value store that persists data to disk. It supports data structures like strings, hashes, lists and sets. Both databases are commonly used for caching, queues, and other use cases where flexibility and performance are important.

MySQL X protocol - Talking to MySQL Directly over the WireSimon J Mudd
The document discusses the MySQL X Protocol, which introduces a new way for clients to communicate directly with MySQL servers over TCP/IP. It provides an overview of how the protocol works, including capabilities exchange, authentication, querying the server for both SQL and noSQL data, pipelining requests, and the need for a formal protocol specification. Building client drivers requires understanding the protocol by reading documentation, source code, and examples as documentation is still incomplete. Pipelining requests can improve performance over high-latency connections. A standard specification would help driver development and ensure compatibility as the protocol evolves.
Ceph is an open-source distributed file system and object storage platform that uses an object-based storage model. It uses a CRUSH algorithm to determine how data objects are stored across multiple storage clusters and devices. Ceph provides distributed storage through RADOS, which allows objects to be stored redundantly across multiple devices, and also powers a distributed file system (CephFS) and block storage (RBD). It uses a monolithic architecture with Object Storage Daemons, a metadata server cluster, and monitoring nodes to provide a scalable, fault-tolerant storage platform.
Ever since the “CloudNative revolution” took over our development environment (devenv), we have never been more challenged (or more excited).

High performance json- postgre sql vs. mongodbWei Shan Ang
PostgreSQL and MongoDB were benchmarked for performance on common operations like inserts, updates, and selects using a JSON document format. The key findings were:
1) PostgreSQL generally had lower latency but required extensive tuning to achieve high performance, while MongoDB delivered reasonable performance out of the box.
2) MongoDB showed unstable throughput and latency over time due to a cache eviction bug.
3) PostgreSQL did not scale well to large connection loads without connection pooling, while MongoDB scaled horizontally more easily.
4) Both databases had pros and cons for their data models, query capabilities, and upgrade processes. The optimal choice depends on an application's specific requirements.

● I need a solution with built-in HA
● I need massive scale and have loose
consistency requirements
● I would rather use a NoSQL solution so I can
put it on my resume

22. Coordinator Overview
●
Based on PostgreSQL 9.1 (9.2 soon)
●
Accepts connections from clients
●
Parses and plans requests
●
Interacts with Global Transaction Manager
●
Uses pooler for Data Node connections
●
Sends down XIDs and snapshots to Data
Nodes
●
Collects results and returns to client
●
Uses two phase commit if necessary

23. Data Node Overview
●
Based on PostgreSQL 9.1 (9.2 soon)
●
Where user created data is actually
stored
●
Coordinators (not clients) connects to
Data Nodes
●
Accepts XID and snapshots from
Coordinator
●
The rest is fairly similar to vanilla
PostgreSQL

25. Summary
● Coordinator
● Visible to apps Postgres-XC core, based upon
vanilla PostgreSQL
● SQL analysis, planning, execution
● Connection pooling Share same binary
● Datanode (or simply “NODE”) May want to colocate
● Actual database store
● Local SQL execution
● GTM (Global Transaction Manager)
● Provides consistent database view to transactions
– GXID (Global Transaction ID)
– Snapshot (List of active transactions) Different binaries
– Other global values such as SEQUENCE
● GTM Proxy, integrates server-local transaction requirement for performance

26. Data Distribution
Distribution Strategies
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 26
27. Distributing the data
● Replicated table
● Each row in the table is replicated to the datanodes
● Statement based replication
● Distributed table
● Each row of the table is stored on one datanode,
decided by one of following strategies
– Hash
– Round Robin
– Modulo
– Range and user defined function (future)
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 27
28. Table Distribution and Replication
● Each table can be distributed or replicated
● Strategy based on usage
– Transaction tables → Distributed
– Static lookup tables → Replicate
– Distribute parent-children together
● Join pushdown when possible
● Where clause pushdown
● Simple parallel aggregates
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 28
29. Defining Tables
● Table Distribution/Replication
● CREATE TABLE tab (…) DISTRIBUTE BY
HASH(col) | MODULO(col) | ROUND
ROBIN | REPLICATION

32. Join Pushdown
Hash/Module Round Robin Replicated
distributed
Hash/Modulo Inner join with NO Inner join if replicated
distributed equality condition on table's distribution list
the distribution is superset of
column with same distributed table's
data type and same distribution list
distribution strategy
Round Robin No No Inner join if replicated
table's distribution list
is superset of
distributed table's
distribution list
Replicated Inner join if replicated Inner join if replicated All kinds of joins
table's distribution list table's distribution list
is superset of is superset of
distributed table's distributed table's
distribution list distribution list
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 32
33. Constraints
● XC does not support Global constraints – i.e.
constraints across datanodes
● Constraints within a datanode are supported
Distribution strategy Unique, primary key Foreign key constraints
constraints
Replicated Supported Supported if the referenced
table is also replicated on
the same nodes
Hash/Modulo distributed Supported if primary OR Supported if the referenced
unique key is distribution key table is replicated on same
nodes OR it's distributed by
primary key in the same
manner and same nodes
Round Robin Not supported Supported if the referenced
table is replicated on same
nodes

35. Transaction Management
Why MVCC is Important for Consistency
Global Transaction Manger
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 35
36. Multi-version Concurrency Control
(MVCC) (quick overview)
● Readers do not block writers
● Writers do not block readers
● Transaction Ids (XIDs)
● Every transaction gets an ID
● Snapshots contain a list of running XIDs
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 36
37. Multi-version Concurrency Control
(MVCC) (quickly discussed)
Example:
T1 Begin...
T2 Begin; INSERT...; Commit
T3 Begin...
T4 Begin; SELECT
● T4's snapshot contains T1 and T3
● T2 already committed
● It can see T2's commits, but not T1's nor T3's
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 37
38. Multi-version Concurrency Control
(MVCC) on 2 Independent Nodes
Example:
T1 Begin...
T2 Begin; INSERT..; Commit;
T3 Begin...
T4 Begin; SELECT
● Node 1: T2 Commit, T4 SELECT
● Node 2: T4 SELECT, T2 Commit
● T4's SELECT statement returns inconsistent data
● Includes data from Node1, but not Node2.
● C in ACID Fails

39. Global Transaction Manager
(GTM)
● Provides Global Transaction Consistency
GTM Cluster nodes
XID
Snapshot
Timestamp
Sequence values
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 39
40. Transaction Management
● 2PC is used to guarantee transactional consistency
across nodes
● When there are more than one nodes involved OR
● When there are explicit 2PC transactions
● Only those nodes where write activity has happened,
participate in 2PC
● In PostgreSQL 2PC can not be applied if temporary
tables are involved. Same restriction applies in
Postgres-XC
● When single coordinator command needs multiple
datanode commands, we encase those in transaction
block

42. Can GTM be a Performance Bottleneck?
• Depending on implementation
– Current Implementation Coordinators
GTM
GTM Threads Coordinator Backend
Snapshot Data
Domain Socket
Applicable up to
Client Library
Coordinator
Internet
Lock five PG-XC
Call
servers (DBT-1)
Create Terminate
GTM Main Thread
– Large snapshot size and number
– Too many interaction between GTM and Coordinators

44. Can GTM be a SPOF?
• Implement GTM Standby
Checkpoint next starting
point (GXID and Sequence)
GTM Master GTM Standby
Standby can failover the
master without referring to
GTM master information.

45. Parallel Query
● OK for simple queries
● Also when all joins can be pushed down
– Star schema with replicated dimensions
● Even aggregates
● SELECT SUM(col1) FROM tab1
● If cross-node join needed performs poorly
● Data on one node needs to join with another
● Ships all data to coordinator for joining
Aug 7, 2012 Postgres-XC 45
46. High Availability
● GTM-standby provides basic HA
● No native HA for nodes
● Use HA middleware such as Pacemaker
● Each data node should be configured with
synchronous replication
