"To speed up boot, parallelism was introduced to our code that loads sstables from a column family, a function was implemented to read the minimum from a sstable to determine whether it belongs to the current shard, and buffer size in read simple is dynamically chosen based on the size of the file and dma alignment. The latter is important because filter file can be considerably large when the respective sstable (data file) is very large. Before this patchset, scylla took about 5 minutes to boot with a data directory of 660GB. After this patchset, scylla took about 20 seconds to boot with the same data directory."
#Scylla
##Building Scylla
In addition to required packages by Seastar, the following packages are required by Scylla.
Submodules
Scylla uses submodules, so make sure you pull the submodules first by doing:
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
Building and Running Scylla on Fedora
- Installing required packages:
sudo yum install yaml-cpp-devel lz4-devel zlib-devel snappy-devel jsoncpp-devel thrift-devel antlr3-tool antlr3-C++-devel libasan libubsan
- Build Scylla
./configure.py --mode=release --with=scylla --disable-xen
ninja build/release/scylla -j2 # you can use more cpus if you have tons of RAM
- Run Scylla
./build/release/scylla
- run Scylla with one CPU and ./tmp as data directory
./build/release/scylla --datadir tmp --commitlog-directory tmp --smp 1
- For more run options:
./build/release/scylla --help
Building Fedora RPM
As a pre-requisite, you need to install Mock on your machine:
# Install mock:
sudo yum install mock
# Add user to the "mock" group:
usermod -a -G mock $USER && newgrp mock
Then, to build an RPM, run:
./dist/redhat/build_rpm.sh
The built RPM is stored in /var/lib/mock/<configuration>/result directory.
For example, on Fedora 21 mock reports the following:
INFO: Done(scylla-server-0.00-1.fc21.src.rpm) Config(default) 20 minutes 7 seconds
INFO: Results and/or logs in: /var/lib/mock/fedora-21-x86_64/result
Building Fedora-based Docker image
Build a Docker image with:
cd dist/docker
docker build -t <image-name> .
Run the image with:
docker run -p $(hostname -i):9042:9042 -i -t <image name>
