Partitioning Cache Data

Partitioning Cache Data

Partitioned Cost Reductions

Quorum in the network is 3. (This is down from the previous value of 4... find out why).

Any sort of partitioning strategy would need to be implemented at the titledb.xml level. Title AUs can be assigned to peers centrally, and each peer should receive a custom titledb.xml file. If LOCKSS is unwilling to support that then there is alternative using local parameters.

org.lockss.titleDbs = http://bpldb.bplonline.org/etc/adpn/titledb-local.xml

Implementing a 1 + 6 partitioning strategy can save 12% on average for each network node. 1 + 6 indicates AU owner + 6 additional network nodes. Adding 2 additional nodes to the network can decrease per node storage by an average of 30%. Adding 4 additional nodes and partitioning cache data can save per node storage on average of 41%. This means we could store up to 18 TB of data on 10.6 TB nodes.

Implementing a 1 + 5 which is 6 discrete nodes in the network (double quorum), base storage decrease is 25% with no additional nodes. 1 + 5 with 4 additional nodes achieves a staggering 50% on average per node storage reduction.

Distribution Algorithms

TBD...

Sample data was run using a static array of nodes, "randomized" with a Fisher-Yates shuffle, and least used node put in first array position.

string[] _nodes = { "ADAH", "AUB", "UAT", "UAB", "BPL", "UNA", "TROY", "SHC" };
Shuffle(_nodes); // Fisher-Yates Shuffle
            
//string _leastUsedNode = GetLeastUsedNodeByAUCount();
//string _leastUsedNode = GetLeastUsedNodeByContentSize();
string _leastUsedNode = GetLeastUsedNodeByDiskCost();

// put at beginning of array
Swap(_nodes, _leastUsedNode);

int _counter = 0;
// insert 6 5
foreach (string _node in _nodes)
{
 if (_counter == 5) break;
 if (_node.Equals(_row["au_owner"].ToString()))  continue; 

 // process
 counter++;
}
