When a node start it does not have any information about cache temperature of other nodes in the cluster and it is hard (if not impossible) to make right guess. During cluster startup all nodes have cold caches, so there is no point to redirect reads to other nodes even though local cache it cold, but if only that node restarted than other nodes have populated cache and reads should be redirected. The node will get up-to-date information about other nodes caches, but only after receiving first reply, until then it does not have the information to make right decisions which may cause unwanted spikes immediately after restart. Having cache temperature in gossiper helps to solve the problem.
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 --init --recursive
Building and Running Scylla on Fedora
- Installing required packages:
sudo dnf install yaml-cpp-devel lz4-devel zlib-devel snappy-devel jsoncpp-devel thrift-devel antlr3-tool antlr3-C++-devel libasan libubsan gcc-c++ gnutls-devel ninja-build ragel libaio-devel cryptopp-devel xfsprogs-devel numactl-devel hwloc-devel libpciaccess-devel libxml2-devel python3-pyparsing lksctp-tools-devel protobuf-devel protobuf-compiler systemd-devel libunwind-devel
- Build Scylla
./configure.py --mode=release --with=scylla --disable-xen
ninja-build 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>
