What is Primary Data and Derived Data?
Primary Data is “Source of Truth” data:
▪ Users’ profiles, private messages, etc.
▪ Typically requires strong consistency & read-your-write semantics
Derived Data comes from crunching primary data:
▪ “People You May Know”, “Jobs You May Be Interested In”, etc.
▪ Aggregation, Joins, Machine learning
▪ Typically generated offline, in Hadoop
How can we serve derived data back to online apps?
5

What is Voldemort?
Voldemort is a Distributed Key Value Store with two modes:
▪ Read-Write
– Random access writes, tunable consistency
▪ Read-Only
– Bulk-loaded from Hadoop
Can be single DC, or globally distributed.
Pluggable:
▪ Storage Engine (BDB-JE, RocksDB, Read-Only format, etc.)
▪ Serialization (Avro, JSON, Protobuf, Thrift, raw bytes, etc.)
6

What is Voldemort Read-Only?
Voldemort RO Servers:
▪ Fetch entire datasets from HDFS
▪ Serve key-value read requests
Build and Push job:
▪ Validates store & schema
▪ Triggers MR job
– MR job partitions data
▪ Triggers server fetches
▪ Swaps new dataset

For Voldemort to die, all pieces must die.

Recent Improvements to Voldemort RO
▪ Cross-DC Bandwidth
– Block-level Compression
– Throttling
▪ Multi-tenancy
– Nuage Integration
– Storage Space Quotas
▪ Performance
– Build and Push Performance
– Client Latency
9

Voldemort Cross-DC Bandwidth
Voldemort RO among largest users of cross-DC bandwidth at LinkedIn
▪ >100 TB / day ingested across the WAN, every day
We added block-level compression:
▪ Output of BnP’s MR job is compressed (GZIP)
▪ Voldemort servers decompress on the fly
– CPU cost of decompression deemed negligible
▪ Completely transparent to store owners
▪ ~18% reduction in dataset size
10

Voldemort Cross-DC Bandwidth
DC1
DC2
DC3
DC1
DC2
DC3
Inbound bandwidth used to look like this:
▪ Very spiky
▪ Each DC was fetching sequentially
▪ Love/hate relationship with Net Ops
Now, with parallel fetching and throttling:
▪ No more spikes
▪ DCs are fetching in parallel
▪ Best friends with Net Ops
11

– Throttling
▪ Multi-tenancy
▪ Performance
– Client Latency
12

Voldemort Multi-tenancy
Nuage is LinkedIn’s internal (AWS-like) self-service provisioning infra
All new stores at LinkedIn are now created via Nuage
▪ Prevents accidental pushes to the wrong cluster
▪ Store creation in production is now self-service
▪ ~3 stores / week created in production!
13

Voldemort Multi-tenancy
Storage Space Quotas
▪ Precise storage requirement measured during build phase
▪ Voldemort server validates quota before starting to fetch
▪ The goal is to prevent unexpected growth from killing clusters
LOTS of improvements on admin commands
▪ Stability
▪ Performance
14

– Throttling
▪ Multi-tenancy
▪ Performance
– Client Latency
15

Build and Push Performance
New datacenter with denser clusters required major BnP refactoring
As a side effect of that rewrite, BnP is also a lot more efficient
▪ Each partition replica is now built only once
▪ The following metrics are reduced (roughly by half) :
– Number of reduce tasks
– Amount of shuffle bandwidth
– Amount of data written to HDFS
Leveraged new datacenter buildout to get rid of duplicate BnP jobs

Client Latency
Major client/server communication rewrite:
▪ Client and server’s memory footprint reduced by half
▪ Client garbage collection reduced by 80%
▪ Failure detection is more accurate
▪ Solved the stability issues of our highest throughput clients
Major effort to upgrade all clients to the latest version.
20

Client Latency
Set up:
▪ 20 client instances
▪ 40 nodes multi-tenant Voldemort cluster
– >90 stores
– 56K QPS at peak
Metric:
▪ Worst p95/p99 latency from all clients
▪ Units are in milliseconds (“m” mean microseconds)
▪ Old code in pink
▪ New code in green
21

Client Latency
95th percentile

How to Get Started?
# Get code
git clone https://github.com/voldemort/voldemort
cd voldemort
# Launch Voldemort Servers
./gradlew jar
./bin/voldemort-shell.sh config/readonly_two_nodes_cluster/node0/config &
./bin/voldemort-shell.sh config/readonly_two_nodes_cluster/node1/config &
# Launch Build and Push job
./gradlew bnpJar
./bin/run-bnp.sh <config_file>
