This presentation describes how to build fast running MySQL applications that service read-based systems. It takes a special look at column databases and Calpont's InfiniDB

9. What are the core rules to follow in order to avoid anxiety over building fast read-intensive, reporting, and analytic databases?

17. Good suggestions, but how can I practically do all these things…?

18. What is Calpont’s InfiniDB? InfiniDB is an open source, column-oriented database architected to handle data warehouses, data marts, analytic/BI systems, and other read-intensive applications. It delivers true scale up (more CPU’s/cores, RAM) and massive parallel processing (MPP) scale out capabilities for MySQL users. Linear performance gains are achieved when adding either more capabilities to one box or using commodity machines in a scale out configuration. Scale up Scale Out

20. Column vs. Row Orientation A column-oriented architecture looks the same on the surface, but stores data differently than legacy/row-based databases…

22. InfiniDB Community – Scale Up InfiniDB Community edition is a FOSS, multi-threaded database server that is capable of using a machine’s CPUs/cores to process queries 87% 22.14 164.12 Q3.2 83% 55.04 316.79 Q3.1 87% 15.94 121.33 Q2.3 87% 19.70 151.20 Q2.2 79% 44.65 210.21 Q2.1 Overall Percent Reduction with additional cores InfiniDB 8 cores (elapsed time in seconds) InfiniDB 1 Core (elapsed time in seconds) SSB Query (@100 scale)

24. InfiniDB Enterprise – Scale Up and Out User Connections User Module 1 User Module n Performance Module 1 Performance Module n Performance Module 2 Shared Storage Database files, System Catalog

26. #4 Scale both I/O and User Connections Recommendation : Use modular architecture User Connections User Module 1 User Module n Performance Module 1 Performance Module n Performance Module 2 Shared Storage Database files, System Catalog Add more Performance Modules to scale I/O Add more User Modules to scale concurrency

28. #5 Provide Transparent Expansion and Failover Cust_id 1-999 Cust_id 1000-1999 Cust_id 2000-2999 Sharding Architecture MySQL Replication Web/App Servers Browsers

29. #5 Provide Transparent Expansion and Failover User Connections User Module 1 User Module n Performance Module 1 Performance Module n Performance Module 2 Shared Storage Database files, System Catalog If one Performance Module fails, traffic resumes with the remaining nodes User queries can be redirected to other User Modules if one fails

31. #6 Load New Data with Minimal Impact OLTP Files/XML Log Files Operational Source Data Staging or ODS ETL High-speed Load Utility Ad-Hoc Dashboards Reports Notifications Users Staging Area Data Warehouse Data Warehouse and Metadata Management

33. InfiniDB Extent Map – No Indexing Needed If a column WHERE filter of “COL1 BETWEEN 220 AND 250 AND COL2 < 10000” is specified, InfiniDB will eliminate extents 1, 2 and 4 from the first column filter, then, looking at just the matching extents for COL2 (i.e. just extent 3), it will determine that no extents match and return zero rows without doing any I/O at all. … Extent Map Also enables logical range partitioning of data… Ext 2 Min 101 Max 200 Ext 3 Min 201 Max 300 Ext 4 Min 301 Max 400 Col1 Ext 1 Min 1 Max 100 Ext 2 Min 10100 Max 20000 Ext 3 Min 20100 Max 30000 Ext 4 Min 30100 Max 40000 Col2 Ext 1 Min 100 Max 10000

34. Summary Provides both diagnostic and tracing tools; no major design tuning efforts Use load testing and SQL analysis tools Method for troubleshooting poor read performance Has high-speed loader with no blocking and MVCC Use two-step ETL and bulk load process Load data with minimal impact Does transparent failover for I/O and manual for connectivity Use replication and load balancers Provide transparent expansion and failover Modular architecture for scaling both concurrency and I/O Application partition Scale concurrency and I/O Supports MPP scale out Spread load via replication or MPP Divide and Conquer Is multi-threaded and uses multiple CPUs / Cores Use DB’s/storage engines that are multi-threaded Exploit modern hardware Is column-oriented Use column database Only read the data you need InfiniDB General Technique Recommendation
