Indexing

Global Indexes

17

CREATE TABLE videos ( videoid uuid, userid uuid, name varchar, description varchar, location text, location_type int, preview_thumbnails map<text,text>, tags set<varchar>, metadata set <frozen<video_metadata>>, added_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (videoid) );

CREATE TABLE videos_by_tag ( tag text, videoid uuid, added_date timestamp, name text, preview_image_location text, tagged_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (tag, videoid) );

Application maintained consistency

Global Indexes

18

CREATE TABLE videos ( videoid uuid, userid uuid, name varchar, description varchar, location text, location_type int, preview_thumbnails map<text,text>, tags set<varchar>, metadata set <frozen<video_metadata>>, added_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (videoid) );

CREATE GLOBAL INDEX tags_index ON videos (tag, videoid) INCLUDE (name, added_date, preview_thumbnails)

CREATE TABLE videos_by_tag ( tag text, videoid uuid, added_date timestamp, name text, preview_image_location text, tagged_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (tag, videoid) );

Global Indexes

• Separate Cassandra managed table • Inserts • Updates

19

More Indexes!

• Partial Indexes - Postponed until 3.1 • Functional Indexes - using a UDF in an index

20

CREATE INDEX ON user_rating averageRating(rating_counter, rating_total);

21

File System

Hints to Raw Files

• Pre 3.0 hints stored in table • Create load on entire write path • …and read path • …and compaction

22

CREATE TABLE system.hints ( target_id uuid, hint_id timeuuid, message_version int, mutation blob, PRIMARY KEY (target_id, hint_id, message_version) ) WITH COMPACT STORAGEAND CLUSTERING ORDER BY (hint_id ASC, message_version ASC);

Hints to Raw Files

• Hints now written to a local file • Replays direct from disk • Bulk streamed to endpoints

23

CREATE TABLE system.hints ( target_id uuid, hint_id timeuuid, message_version int, mutation blob, PRIMARY KEY (target_id, hint_id, message_version) ) WITH COMPACT STORAGEAND CLUSTERING ORDER BY (hint_id ASC, message_version ASC);

Windows Compatibility - The Problem

• Java file management on Windows is… different • File delete’s are not possible • Hard links - Broke • Snapshots - Broke • Memory Mapped I/O - Broke

24

Windows Compatibility - 3.0

• Re-tooling of critical file functions • Extensive use of FILE_SHARE_DELETE from JDK7 • Launch now in PowerShell • CCM now supports windows

25

Storage Engine Changes

• Now infamous CASSANDRA-8099 • Technical debt from Thrift • Move from Thrift centric to CQL centric storage

26

39

Smaller but significant changes

• Direct buffer decompression of reads • Avoiding memory allocation on Index Summary search • Repair concurrency improvements • Optimal CRC32 implementation at runtime

40

41

Security

Role Based Access Control

• Expands on User based auth in 1.2 • Requires the internal auth to be enabled

42

CREATE ROLE supervisor; GRANT MODIFY ON user_credentials TO supervisor;

When will it ship?

43

Maybe June

When 8099 is finished, it ships

Thank you!
