Motivation
IEP-43 introduces persistent caches snapshots feature. This feature highly adopted by Ignite users.
In-memory caches snapshots will simplify the following use-cases:
- In-memory cluster restarts.
- Version upgrade.
- Disaster recovery.
- DC/Hardware replacement.
- Data motion.
Description
in-memory snapshots will resuse existing snapshot code when possible. So key design decisions stay the same. It assumed that reader knows and understand IEP-43. So design description will focus on difference on persistence and in-memory snapshot.
API
Creation
1. PME + Checkpoint guarantees to make sure of visibility of all dirty pages:
Only PME required for in-memory snapshots. We can set write listener during PME because no concurrent transactions allowed.
See:
PartitionsExchangeAware#onDoneBeforeTopologyUnlock
IgniteSnapshotManager#onDoneBeforeTopologyUnlock
SnapshotFutureTask#start
2. Storage unit:
In-memory caches store pages in configured DataRegion
. Page for specific cache group allocated in some Segment
of data region.
So, unlike persistent caches it more convinient and error-prone to create snapshot of the DataRegion with all caches in it.
During creation of snapshot node must track all page changes which can be implemented by the listener of write locks in PageMemoryNoStoreImpl
.
3. Persistent pages contains CRC to make sure data integrity while storing on disk:
CRC for each page must be calculated and written to snapshot metadata during snapshotting.
CRC must be checked during restore.
- StoredCacheData.
- binary_meta.
- marshaller.
must be properly prepared and saved during snapshot.
Restore
Prerequisites:
- Restored data region is empty - there are no any caches stored in it.
- Count of nodes in cluster are the same as in time of creation (this restriction can be eliminated in Phase 2 of IEP implementation).
- All nodes in cluster has snapshot locally.
Steps:
- Block data region exclusively on each node - any attempt of usage (cache creation) must be blocked.
- Restore all saved data into data region.
- Restore all saved metadata.
- Wait all nodes complete step 2 and 3.
- Start caches that belongs to restored data region.
Risks and Assumptions
DataRegionConfiguration#persistenceEnabled=false
for in-memory caches by the definition.- The same value must be for DataRegionConfiguration when cache group restored from in-memory snapshot.
- After this feature implemented
PageIO
will require to be backward compatible. - The way to restore snapshot on different topology must be further investigated.
- Empty pages of DataRegion will be written to snapshot.
- Compaction of snapshot must be further investigated.
- No concurrent snapshot operation - persistent, in-memory allowed. This can be eliminated in next phases to provide the ability to create full cluster snapshot by one command.
