Bitalostored is a high-performance distributed storage system, compatible with Redis protocol. 中文版

Introduction

• Bitalostored is a high-performance distributed storage system, core engine based on bitalosdb, compatible with Redis protocol. As an alternative to Redis, it stores data with low-cost hard disk instead of expensive memory, takes full advantage of multi-core and provides excellent single-core performance, which can significantly reduce service costs.

• Bitalostored contains three main projects: dashboard (visual management platform), stored (storage service), and proxy (proxy service). Current open-source version is stable, and provides a complete industrial grade solution. In Zuoyebang company, the stability of Bitalostored has been verified. Hundreds of online clusters are running stably all year round. Now data capacity is 200TB, peak QPS is 20 million, peak network bandwidth is 5000Gbps, and since v1.0 was released in 2019, there have been no online incidents.

Key Technology

• Compatible with Redis protocol, low integration cost. Supports most commands, including LUA, distributed transactions.

• High-performance core, equipped with self-developed KV engine: bitalosdb, which has a significant performance breakthrough compared to rocksdb.

• High-performance data consistency architecture, based on bitalos-raft, deeply optimized Raft protocol, significantly improved write performance, and more stable election strategy and data synchronization process.

• High-performance storage structure. By compressing redis composite data structure, greatly reduce disk I/O bytes, and improve system throughput.

• Multi-cloud disaster recovery, supports multi-room or multi-cloud deployment & management, and has a comprehensive complete downgrade & disaster recovery solution.

• Multi-master write (enterprise edition support). Based on CRDT, optimize data synchronization and consistency strategy, ensure that conflicts can be adaptively resolved when written to multi-master in same shard, and guarantee eventual consistency.

Quick deployment

• Applicable scenarios: Deploy a test cluster on a single machine(machine needs to be connected to the Internet), experience the functions of all components(dashboard, proxy, and stored), and cluster operation and maintenance

• Deployment script: install.sh, follow the prompts to enter the number of shards (group), the number of slave nodes (slave), and the number of witness nodes (witness); the default number: proxy * 1, group * 2 (master * 2, slave * 2 , witness * 2)

• Admin web: 127.0.0.1:8080, both of default user&password are demo

• Service address: 127.0.0.1:8790, use command: redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 8790

• Uninstall script: uninstall.sh

Performance

There are currently several well-known open source storage systems (compatible with the redis protocol), two products (*d* & *i*) with excellent performance are chosen. This benchmark is bases on bitalostored v4.0 and two procudcts (*d* & *i*) newest version.

Program

• Benchmark: memtier_benchmark (redis official tool)

• NoSQL Program: thread number(8), cgroup cpu(8 core)

• Command args: 3 data spec

--data-size=1024 --key-maximum=30000000 -t 8 -c 16 -n 163840 # items=20971520 (8*16*163840)
