Zookeeper Wait-Free Coordination for Internet-Scale Systems
What is ZooKeeper • Service for coordinating distributed processes • Wait-free coordination • Enables high-performance server implementation • Can handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second • Distributed system for implementing distributed systems!
What distributed processes entail • Large number of processes • Heterogeneous hardware • Inter-Process Communication • Asynchronous systems • Network delays
Some Examples • Search engines • Crawling • Indexing • Query Processing • Large-scale data processing • Map-reduce • Hadoop • Dryad
Why is it necessary • Distributed systems need • Configuration Maintenance • Distributed Synchronization • Group Membership • Because • Race Conditions • Deadlocks • Bugs
Introduction • ZooKeeper – Coordination service • Database of meta-data • Relieves distributed systems of its distributed responsibilities • How?
Elements of ZooKeeper • Replicated in-memory database • Hierarchical DHT • Coarse-grained lock service • Event queue server • Hierarchical Pub/Sub server
Guarantees of ZooKeeper • Serializability • Serializable Reads • All reads from a client are processed in order • Linearizability • Linearizable Writes • All writes from all clients are processed in order
Data Model • File system supporting full reads and writes • Uses znodes • Data objects • Hierarchical ordering • Znodes are unlike files • Does support storing metadata
The API • create(path, data, flags) • delete(path, version) • exists(path, watch) • getData(path, watch) • setData(path, data, version) • getChildren(path, watch) • sync(path)
Why multiple functions for a function • Atomicity • Message passing • Three notifications • Exists -> znode insertion at a path • getData -> znode data updates • getChildren -> znode group broadcasts • Failure detection • Synchronization
The many guarantees of ZooKeeper • Sequential consistency • Atomicity • Reliability • Group revision • Linearizable reads
ZooKeeper ImplementationRequest Processor • Provides high availability by replication • Use atomic broadcast for coordination in case of writes • If read request, simply generate response
ZooKeeper ImplementationRequest Processor • Replicated database contains entire tree • Maintains logs for recoverability • Clients connect to one server to submit requests • Transactions are idempotent. • Writes forwarded to one server – leader
ZooKeeper Primitives • Configuration Management • Rendezvous • Group membership • Simple locks • Read / Write locks • Double barrier
Evaluation of ZooKeeper • Variable number of servers, fixed number of clients. • 35 machines simulating 250 simultaneous clients, which all use the asynchronous API. • Read/write payloads all 1KB in size. • Benchmarking done on the client side.
Evaluation of ZooKeeper 1. Failure and recovery of a follower; 2. Failure and recovery of a different follower; 3. Failure of the leader; 4. Failure of two followers (a, b) in the first two marks, and recovery at the third mark (c); 5. Failure of the leader.
Conclusion • Wait-free approach towards coordinating processes • Used in several applications • Yahoo Message Broker (Pub/Sub) • Hadoop • Katta – Distributed Indexer
