High Availability

.

Mission Statement

1. high availability business-level cloud data store2. federated clouds = diversification3. many DCs and/or cloud providers

4. we care mostly about performance = high availability

5. practical solutions are needed

haStore : The Short Story

.

haStore: One DC is Not Enough

• rememberJune 2013?• most services today use vertical intergration -- no diversity

• Hitachi does not share DCs with NEC

• regional diversity of one provider is bad◦ how many Amazon DCs in Japan?

.(the only possible) Solution..

.

... is to sign contracts with multiple DCs and manage on

client side

haStore: Store Diversification• store = sum ofmultiple substores• in software: not a priority list -- optimization engine!• realtime performance monitoring, read/write optimization, etc.

haStore: Socially Aware Store• content relevance based on

social graph• relevance is a distribution• individual redundancy based on distribution

hsStore: Software Design


8/21

.

Design: Specs

• many substores, heterogeneous e2e performance and capacity• each substore has its own API (Dropbox, GDrive, SSD, etc.), but haStore exports a

generic API• data unit: sub-file blobs, for now fixed 100kb size

• social graph is used to define priority lists of files◦ different for each user

• optimization is key element of software engines

1. sync logic2. redundancy logic


9/21

.

Design: API Stack

• Generic API starts fromLevel 2, similar to drivers

• the stack is implemented by each client = each user

Social Graph : Basics• current version: only simple types of links

• no link strength

Social Graph : Advanced

• community detection

• files that could be linked:

1. touched at roughly the same time2. touched by the same user3. same location, filetype, size, etc.

• link strength, different for each kind of relation, variable e2e cost onpaths

• discovery based on e2e cost, not hop count
