    Flexible Paxos : An Industry Perspective

    No full text
    Paxos is an algorithm for implementing fault-tolerant distributed systems. The core of Paxos is found in many consensus algorithms. Raft and Zab are two prominent protocols that are used in the industry. They serve as the foundation of distributed key-value stores and coordination services such as Consul, Etcd and ZooKeeper. In distributed consensus, the most common way for servers to agree over a value is to use majority quorums. However in 2016, FPaxos (Flexible Paxos) was published. The authors make the observation that majority quorums are not required as intersection is mandatory only across the two phases of Paxos. By taking advantage of this, developers will have more control over the choice between performance and availability. In this paper we will look at how FPaxos can be adopted into existing systems and demonstrate the advantages through a ZooKeeper modification running on City Cloud

    Hardware Utilisation Techniques for Data Stream Processing

    Recent years have seen an increase in use of the stream processing architecture to compose continuous analytics applications. This thesis presents the design of a Rust-based stream processor that adopts two separate techniques to tackle existing weaknesses in modern production-grade stream processors. The first technique employs a data analytics language on top of the streaming runtime, in order to provide both dataflow and low-level compiler optimisations. This technique is motivated by an analysis of the impact that the lack of compiler integration may have on the end-to-end performance of streaming pipelines in Apache Flink. In the second technique streaming operators are scheduled using a task-parallel approach to boost performance for skewed data distributions. The experimental results for data-parallel streaming pipelines in this thesis demonstrate, that the scheduling model of the prototype achieves performance improvements in skewed scenarios without exhibiting any significant losses in performance during uniform distributions.Under senare år har användningen av strömbearbetningsarkitekturen ökat för att komponera kontinuerliga analysapplikationer. Denna avhandling presenterar designen av en Rust-baserad strömprocessor som använder två separata tekniker för att hantera befintliga svagheter i moderna strömprocessorer. Den första tekniken använder ett dataanalysspråk ovanpå strömprocessorn, för att ge både dataflöde och kompilatoroptimeringar på låg nivå. Denna teknik är motiverad av en analys av påverkan som bristen på kompilatorintegration kan ha på den slutliga prestandan för analysapplikationer i Apache Flink. I den andra tekniken schemaläggs strömningsoperatörer med hjälp av en uppgiftsparallell metod för att öka prestanda för skev datadistribution. De experimentella resultaten för data-parallella analysapplikationer i denna avhandling visar att schemaläggningsmodellen för prototypen uppnår prestandaförbättringar i ojämna distributioner utan att uppvisa några betydande förluster i prestanda under enhetliga fördelningar
