[Download the slide to get the entire talk in the form of presentation note embedded in the ppt] Apache ZooKeeper is the chosen leader in distributed coordination. In this talk, I have explored the atomic elements of Apache ZooKeeper, how it fits everything together and some of its popular use cases. For ZooKeeper simplicity is the key and as a consumer of the API, our imagination enables us to push the limits of the ZooKeeper world.
Zookeeper is a distributed coordination service that provides naming, configuration, synchronization, and group services. It allows distributed processes to coordinate with each other through a shared hierarchical namespace of data registers called znodes. Zookeeper follows a leader-elected consensus protocol to guarantee atomic broadcast of state updates from the leader to followers. It uses a hierarchical namespace of znodes similar to a file system to store configuration data and other application-defined metadata. Zookeeper provides services like leader election, group membership, synchronization, and configuration management that are essential for distributed systems.
Apache Zookeeper Explained: Tutorial, Use Cases and Zookeeper Java API ExamplesBinu George
This document provides an overview of Apache Zookeeper, a distributed coordination service. It discusses Zookeeper's data model, use of ZAB protocol for consensus, and common use cases such as naming, configuration management, and leader election. It also provides a brief Java client API example.
ZooKeeper is an open-source coordination service for distributed applications that provides common services like naming, configuration management, synchronization, and groups. It uses a hierarchical data model where data is stored as znodes that can be configured with watches, versions, access control, and more. Common uses include distributed queues, leader election, and group membership. Recipes demonstrate how to implement queues and group membership using ZooKeeper.
Basically everything you need to get started on your Zookeeper training, and setup apache Hadoop high availability with QJM setup with automatic failover.
So we're running Apache ZooKeeper. Now What? By Camille Fournier Hakka Labs
The ZooKeeper framework was originally built at Yahoo! to make it easy for the company’s applications to access configuration information in a robust and easy-to-understand way, but it has since grown to offer a lot of features that help coordinate work across distributed clusters. Apache Zookeeper became a de-facto standard for coordination service and used by Storm, Hadoop, HBase, ElasticSearch and other distributed computing frameworks.

ZooKeeper is a highly available, scalable, distributed configuration, consensus, group membership, leader election, naming and coordination service. It provides a hierarchical namespace and basic operations like create, delete, and read data. It is useful for building distributed applications and services like queues. Future releases will focus on monitoring improvements, read-only mode, and failure detection models. The community is working on features like children for ephemeral nodes and viewing session information.
ZooKeeper is a coordination service for distributed systems that allows nodes to perform tasks correctly. It provides features like atomic operations, order guarantees, and high availability. ZooKeeper uses the Zab protocol to elect a leader and achieve consensus. It stores data in a hierarchical structure of znodes that can be persistent or ephemeral. Software load balancers can use ZooKeeper to store cluster configuration and direct traffic. The Apache Curator library provides a higher-level API for common ZooKeeper patterns like leader election and locks.

Centralized Application Configuration with Spring and Apache ZookeeperRyan Gardner
From talk given at Spring One 2gx Dallas, 2014
Application configuration is an evolution. It starts as a hard-coded strings in your application and hopefully progresses to something external, such as a file or system property that can be changed without deployment. But what happens when other enterprise concerns enter the mix, such as audit requirements or access control around who can make changes? How do you maintain the consistency of values across too many application servers to manage at one time from a terminal window? The next step in the application configuration evolution is centralized configuration that can be accessed by your applications as they move through your various environments on their way to production. Such a service transfers the ownership of configuration from the last developer who touched the code to a well-versed application owner who is responsible for the configuration of the application across all environments. At Dealer.com, we have created one such solution that relies on Apache ZooKeeper to handle the storage and coordination of the configuration data and Spring to handle to the retrieval, creation and registration of configured objects in each application. The end result is a transparent framework that provides the same configured objects that could have been created using a Spring configuration, configuration file and property value wiring. This talk will cover both the why and how of our solution, with a focus on how we leveraged the powerful attributes of both Apache ZooKeeper and Spring to rid our application of local configuration files and provide a consistent mechanism for application configuration in our enterprise.

Curators are responsible for managing museum collections. They select items for display, direct acquisitions and loans, conduct research, and oversee conservation efforts. Effective curation requires documenting each item, providing access for researchers while protecting collections, implementing preventative conservation measures, controlling pests, planning for emergencies, and establishing policies for deaccessioning items. Curators ensure collections are well-managed, preserved, and made available to educate the public.
This document summarizes a presentation about SolrCloud shard splitting. It introduces the presenter and his background with Apache Lucene and Solr. The presentation covers an overview of SolrCloud, how documents are routed to shards in SolrCloud, the SolrCloud collections API, and the new functionality for splitting shards in Solr 4.3 to allow dynamic resharding of collections without downtime. It provides details on the shard splitting mechanism and tips for using the new functionality.
This document discusses scaling Solr using SolrCloud. It provides an overview of Solr history and architectures. It then describes how SolrCloud addresses limitations of earlier architectures by utilizing Apache ZooKeeper for coordination across Solr nodes and shards. Key concepts discussed include collections, shards, replicas, and routing queries across shards. The document also covers configuration topics like caches, indexing tuning, and monitoring.
This document discusses scaling search with Apache SolrCloud. It provides an introduction to Solr and how scaling search was difficult in previous versions due to manually managing shards and replicas. SolrCloud makes scaling easier by utilizing ZooKeeper for centralized configuration and management across a cluster. Nodes can be added to a SolrCloud cluster and will automatically be configured and assigned as shards or replicas. This allows for effortless scaling, fault tolerance, and load balancing. The document promotes upcoming features in Solr 4 and demonstrates indexing and querying in a SolrCloud cluster.
This document discusses SolrCloud failover and testing. It provides an overview of how SolrCloud uses ZooKeeper to elect an overseer node to monitor cluster state and automatically create a new replica on an available node when one goes down, allowing failover capability. It also discusses challenges with distributed testing and recommends focusing more on backfilling tests when changing code, fixing frequently failing tests, and adding more unit tests to improve Solr's testing culture.
Scaling SolrCloud to a Large Number of Collections - Fifth Elephant 2014Shalin Shekhar Mangar
This document discusses scaling SolrCloud to support large numbers of document collections. It begins by introducing SolrCloud and some of its key capabilities and terminology. It then describes four problems that can arise at large scale: high cluster state load, overseer performance issues, inflexible data management, and limitations with data export. For each problem, solutions are proposed that were implemented in Apache Solr to improve scalability, such as splitting the cluster state, optimizing the overseer, enabling more flexible data splitting and migration, and allowing distributed deep paging exports. The document concludes by describing efforts to test SolrCloud at massive scale through automated tools and cloud infrastructure.
This document discusses using Apache Geode and ActiveMQ Artemis to build a scalable IoT platform. It introduces IoT and the MQTT protocol. ActiveMQ Artemis is described as a high performance message broker that is embeddable and supports clustering. Geode is presented as a distributed in-memory data platform for building data-intensive applications that require high performance, scalability, and availability. Example users of Geode include large companies handling billions of records and thousands of transactions per second. Key capabilities of Geode like regions, functions, querying, and continuous queries are summarized.
Windows 8 apps can access data from services in several ways:
- They can call ASMX, WCF, and REST services asynchronously using HttpClient and retrieve responses.
- They can access oData services using the oData client library.
- They can retrieve RSS feeds using SyndicationClient and parse the responses.
- They can perform background transfers using BackgroundDownloader.
- They can update tiles periodically by polling a service and setting updates.
Organizations continue to adopt Solr because of its ability to scale to meet even the most demanding workflows. Recently, LucidWorks has been leading the effort to identify, measure, and expand the limits of Solr. As part of this effort, we've learned a few things along the way that should prove useful for any organization wanting to scale Solr. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of how sharding and replication impact performance. Also, no benchmark is useful without being repeatable; Tim will also cover how to perform similar tests using the Solr-Scale-Toolkit in Amazon EC2.
Apache ZooKeeper is an open-source distributed coordination service that helps manage large sets of hosts. It implements coordination protocols to provide a consistent view of shared state across distributed applications or servers. ZooKeeper uses a hierarchical namespacing system called znodes to store configuration data and other information. It ensures highly reliable distributed coordination through features like leader election, group membership, and notifications.
Cassandra is an open source, distributed, decentralized, elastically scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant database. It originated at Facebook in 2007 to solve their inbox search problem. Some key companies using Cassandra include Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and Rackspace. Cassandra's data model is based on Google's Bigtable and its distribution design is based on Amazon's Dynamo.
Paul Dix, CTO and co-founder of InfluxData, discussed the future of InfluxDB and the release of InfluxDB 2.0 Open Source. He explained that InfluxDB 2.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up to address limitations of the original InfluxDB like lack of distributed features and poor performance for high cardinality analytics data. The new database, called InfluxDB IOx, uses a columnar data store with parquet files and is designed to be distributed, federated, and able to run analytics at scale on high cardinality data.
Cassandra Tools and Distributed Administration (Jeffrey Berger, Knewton) | C*...DataStax
At Knewton we operate across five different VPCs a total of 29 clusters, each ranging from 3 nodes to 24 nodes. For a team of three to maintain this is not herculean, however good tools to diagnose issues and gather information in a distributed manner are vital to moving quickly and minimizing engineering time spent.
The database team at Knewton has been successfully using a combination of Ansible and custom open sourced tools to maintain and improve the Cassandra deployment at Knewton. I will be talking about several of these tools and giving examples of how we are using them. Specifically I will discuss the cassandra-tracing tool, which analyzes the contents of the system_traces keyspace, and the cassandra-stat tool, which gives real-time output of the operations of a cassandra cluster. Distributed administration with ad-hoc Ansible will also be covered and I will walk through examples of using these commands to identify and remediate clusterwide issues.

Node.js is an event-driven, asynchronous JavaScript runtime that allows JavaScript to be used for server-side scripting. It uses an event loop model that maps events to callbacks to handle concurrent connections without blocking. This allows Node.js applications to scale to many users. Modules in Node.js follow the CommonJS standard and can export functions and objects to be used by other modules. The event emitter pattern is commonly used to handle asynchronous events. Node.js is well-suited for real-time applications with intensive I/O operations but may not be the best choice for CPU-intensive or enterprise applications.
As the popularity of PostgreSQL continues to soar, many companies are exploring ways of migrating their application database over. At Redgate Software, we recently added PostgreSQL as an optional data store for SQL Monitor, our flagship monitoring application, after nearly 18 years of being backed exclusively by SQL Server. Knowing that others will be taking this journey in the near future, we'd like to discuss what we learned. In this training, we'll discuss the planning that needs to take place before a migration begins, including datatype changes, PostgreSQL configuration modifications, and query differences. This will be a mix of slides and demo from our own learnings, as well as those of some clients we've helped along the way.

3. Overview – What is ZooKeeper?
• An open source, high-performance
coordination service for distributed
application.
• Exposes common services in simple
interface:
• Naming
• Configuration management
• Locks & synchronization
• Groups services
• Build your own on it for specific needs
4. Overview – Who uses ZooKeeper?
• Companies:
• Yahoo!
• Zynga
• Rackspace
• Linkedlin
• Netflix, and many more…
• Projects:
• Apache Map/Reduce (Yarn)
• Apache HBase
• Apache Kafka
• Apache Storm
• Neo4j, and many more…
5. Overview – ZooKeeper Use Cases
• Configuration Management
• Cluster member nodes bootstrapping configuration from a
centralized source in unattended way
• Distributed Cluster Management
• Node join / leave
• Node statuses in real time
• Naming service – e.g. DNS
• Distributed synchronization – locks, barriers, queues
• Leader election in a distributed system
6. The ZooKeeper Service (ZKS)
• ZooKeeper Service is replicated over a set of machines
• All machines store a copy of the data (in-memory)
• A leader is elected on service startup
• Clients only connect to a single ZooKeeper server and maintain a
TCP connection
7. The ZKS - Sessions
• Before executing any request, client must establish a
session with service
• All operations client summits to service are associated to
a session
• Client initially connects to any server in ensemble, and
only to single server.
• Session offer order guarantees – requests in session are
executed in FIFO order
8. The ZKS – Session States and Lifetime
• Main possible states: CONNECTING, CONNECTED,
CLOSED, NOT_CONNECTED
9. The ZooKeeper Data Model (ZDM)
• Hierarchal name space
• Each node is called as a ZNode
• Every ZNode has data (given as byte[])
and can optionally have children
• ZNode paths:
• Canonical, absolute, slash-separated
• No relative references
• Names can have Unicode characters
• ZNode maintain stat structure
10. ZDM - Versions
• Eash Znode has version number, is incremented every
time its data changes
• setData and delete take version as input, operation
succeeds only if client’s version is equal to server’s one
11. ZDM – ZNodes – Stat Structure
• The Stat structure for each znode in ZooKeeper is made
up of the following fields:
• czxid
• mzxid
• pzxid
• ctime
• mtime
• dataVersion
• cversion
• aclVersion
• ephemeralOwner
• dataLength
• numChildren
12. ZDM – Types of ZNode
• Persistent ZNode
• Have lifetime in ZooKeeper’s namespace until they’re explicitly
deleted (can be deleted by delete API call)
• Ephemeral ZNode
• Is deleted by ZooKeeper service when the creating client’s session
ends
• Can also be explicitly deleted
• Are not allowed to have children
• Sequential Znode
• Is assigned a sequence number by ZooKeeper as a part of name
during creation
• Sequence number is integer (4bytes) with format of 10 digits with 0
padding. E.g. /path/to/znode-0000000001
14. ZDM – Znode – Reads & Writes
• Read requests are processed locally at the ZooKeeper
server to which client is currently connected
• Write requests are forwarded to leader and go through
majority consensus before a response is generated
15. ZDM – Consistency Guarantees
• Sequential Consistency
• Atomicity
• Single System Image
• Reliability
• Timeliness (Eventual Consistency)
16. ZDM - Watches
• A watch event is one-time trigger, sent to client that set
watch, which occurs when data for which watch was set
changes.
• Watches allow clients to get notifications when a znode
changes in any way (NodeChildrenChanged,
NodeCreated, NodeDataChanged,NodeDeleted)
• All of read operations – getData(), getChildren(), exists()
– have option of setting watch
• ZooKeeper Guarantees about Watches:
• Watches are ordered, order of watch events corresponds to the
order of the updates
• A client will see a watch event for znode it is watching before
seeing the new data that corresponds to that znode
18. ZDM – Access Control List
• ZooKeeper uses ACLs to control access to its znodes
• ACLs are made up of pairs of (scheme:id, permission)
• Build-in ACL schemes
• world: has single id, anyone
• auth: doesn’t use any id, represents any authenticated user
• digest: use a username:password
• host: use the client host name as ACL id identity
• ip: use the client host IP as ACL id identity
• ACL Permissions:
• CREATE
• READ
• WRITE
• DELETE
• ADMIN
• E.g. (ip:192.168.0.0/16, READ)
19. Recipe #1: Queue
• A distributed queue is very common data structure used in
distributed systems.
• Producer: generate / create new items and put them into
queue
• Consumer: remove items from queue and process them
• Addition and removal of items follow ordering of FIFO
20. Recipe #1: Queue (cont)
• A ZNode will be designated to hold a queue instance,
queue-znode
• All queue items are stored as znodes under queue-znode
• Producers add an item to queue by creating znode under
queue-znode
• Consumers retrieve items by getting and then deleting a
child from queue-znode
QUEUE-ZNODE : “queue instance”
|-- QUEUE-0000000001 : “item1”
|-- QUEUE-0000000002 : “item2”
|-- QUEUE-0000000003 : “item3”
21. Recipe #1: Queue (cont)
• Let /_QUEUE_ represent top-level znode, is called queue-
znode
• Producer put something into queue by creating a
SEQUENCE_EPHEMERAL znode with name “queue-N”,
N is monotonically increasing number
create (“queue-”, SEQUENCE_EPHEMARAL)
• Consumer process getChildren() call on queue-znode
with watch event set to true
M = getChildren(/_QUEUE_, true)
• Client picks up items from list and continues processing
until reaching the end of the list, and then check again
• The algorithm continues until get_children() returns
empty list
22. Recipe #2: Group Membership
• A persistent Znode /membership represent the root of the
group in ZooKeeper tree
• Any client that joins the cluster creates ephemeral znode
under /membership to locate memberships in tree and set
a watch on /membership
• When another node joins or leaves the cluster, this node
gets a notification and becomes aware of the change in
group membership
23. Recipe #2: Group Membership (cont)
• Let /_MEMBERSHIP_ represent root of group membership
• Client joining the group create ephemeral nodes under root
• All members of group will register for watch events on
/_MEMBERSHIP, thereby being aware of other members in
group
L = getChildren(“/_MEMBERSHIP”, true)
• When new client joins group, all other members are notified
• Similarly, a client leaves due to failure or otherwise,
ZooKeeper automatically delete node, trigger event
• Live members know which node joined or left by looking at
the list of children L
#6: Centralized and highly reliable (simple) data registry
Unattended = without the owner present
#7: - Each server maintains an in-core database, which represents the entire state of the ZooKeeper namespace. To ensure that updates are durable, and thus recoverable in the event of a server crash, updates are logged to a local disk. Also, the writes are serialized to the disk before they are applied to the in-memory database
#8: - (3) The client initially connects to any server in the ensemble, and only to a single server. It uses a TCP connection to communicate with the server, but the session may be moved to a different server if the client has not heard from its current server for some time. Moving a session to a different server is handled transparently by the ZooKeeper client library
- (4)
#9: - A session starts at the NOT_CONNECTED state and transitions to CONNECTING (arrow 1) with the initialization of the ZooKeeper client.
- Normally, the connection to a ZooKeeper server succeeds and the session transitions to CONNECTED (arrow 2).
- When the client loses its connection to the ZooKeeper server or doesn’t hear from the server, it transitions back to CONNECTING (arrow 3) and tries to find another ZooKeeper server. If it is able to find another server or to reconnect to the original server, it transitions back to CONNECTED once the server confirms that the session is still valid.
- Otherwise, it declares the session expired and transitions to CLOSED (arrow 4).
- The application can also explicitly close the session (arrows 4 and 5)
#11: - Each znode has a version number associated with it that is incremented every time its data changes
#12: Zxid: Each change will have a unique zxid and if zxid1 is smaller than zxid2 then zxid1 happened before zxid2. zxid is 64-bit integer = 32bits EPOCH and 32bits COUNTER
Czxid: The zxid of the change that caused this znode to be created
Mzxid: The zxid of the change that last modified this znode
Pzxid: This is the transaction ID for a znode change that pertains to adding or removing children
Ctime: The time in milliseconds from epoch when this znode was created
Mtime: The time in milliseconds from epoch when this znode was last modified
dataVersion: The number of changes to the data of this znode
cVersion: The number of changes to the children of this znode
aclversion: The number of changes to the ACL of this znode
ephemeralOwner: The session id of the owner of this znode if the znode is an ephemeral node. If it is not an ephemeral node, it will be zero
dataLength: The length of the data field of this znode
numChildren: The number of children of this znode
#13: ZNode's type is set at its creation time
(1) Persistent znodes are useful for storing data that needs to be highly available and accessible by all the components of a distributed application. For example, an application can store the configuration data in a persistent znode. The data as well as the znode will exist even if the creator client dies
(2) An end to a client's session can happen because of disconnection due to a client crash or explicit termination of the connection
The concept of ephemeral znodes can be used to build distributed applicationswhere the components need to know the state of the other constituent components or resources. For example, a distributed group membership service can be implemented by using ephemeral znodes. The property of ephemeral nodes getting deleted when the creator client's session ends can be used as an analogue of a node that is joining or leaving a distributed cluster. Using the membership service, any node is able discover the members of the group at any particular time.
#15: READ requests such as exists(), getData(), and getChildren() are processed locally by the ZooKeeper server where the client is connected. This makes the read operations very fast in ZooKeeper
WRITE or update requests such as create(), delete(), and setData() are forwarded to the leader in the ensemble. The leader carries out the client request as a transaction. This transaction is similar to the concept of a transaction in a database management system
A ZooKeeper transaction also comprises all the steps required to successfully execute the request as a single work unit, and the updates are applied atomically
#16: - Sequential Consistency: Updates from a client will be applied in the order that they were sent
- Atomicity: Updates either succeed or fail -- there are no partial results
- Single System Image: A client sees the same view of the service regardless of the ZK server it connects to.
- Reliability: Updates persists once applied, till overwritten by some clients. If a client gets a successful return code, the update will have been applied
- Timeliness: The clients’ view of the system is guaranteed to be up-to-date within a certain time bound. (Eventual Consistency)
#19: CREATE: you can create a child node
READ: you can get data from a node and list its children.
WRITE: you can set data for a node
DELETE: you can delete a child node
ADMIN: you can set permissions
world has a single id, anyone, that represents anyone.
auth doesn't use any id, represents any authenticated user.
digest uses a username:password string to generate MD5 hash which is then used as an ACL ID identity. Authentication is done by sending the username:password in clear text. When used in the ACL the expression will be the username:base64 encoded SHA1 password digest.
host uses the client host name as an ACL ID identity. The ACL expression is a hostname suffix. For example, the ACL expression host:corp.com matches the ids host:host1.corp.com and host:host2.corp.com, but not host:host1.store.com.
ip uses the client host IP as an ACL ID identity. The ACL expression is of the form addr/bits where the most significant bits of addr are matched against the most significant bits of the client host IP
#21: The FIFO order of the items is maintained using sequential property of znode provided by ZooKeeper. When a producer process creates a znode for a queue item, it sets the sequential flag. This lets ZooKeeper append the znode name with a monotonically increasing sequence number as the suffix. ZooKeeper guarantees that the sequence numbers are applied in order and are not reused. The consumer process processes the items in the correct order by looking at the sequence number of the znode.
