• Sharding


What is No-SQL?


What is No-SQL?

“Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points:
being non-relational, distributed, open-source and horizontal
scalable. ... schema-free, easy replication support, simple API,
eventually consistent ...”

• Non-Relational • Schema-Free
• Distributed • Replication Support
• Open-Source • Simple API
• Horizontally Scalable • Eventually Consistent


What is No-SQL?
It’s about using the right tool for the job.
• Not all systems have the same data needs.
• Sql is not the only option, nor is it always the best one.
• Consider all options carefully and choose wisely.


What is No-SQL?

Not Only SQL

What is MongoDB?
• Document-oriented database
- Uses JSON (BSON actually)
• Schema-free
• Performant
- Written in C++
- Full index support
- No transactions (has atomic operations)
“Mongo only pawn in game of life”
- Memory-mapped files (delayed writes)
• Scalable
- Replication
- Auto-Sharding
• Commercially supported (10gen)
- Lots of documentation


Other Features of MongoDB
• Document-based queries
- Flexible document queries expressed in JSON/Javascript.
• Map Reduce
- Flexible aggregation and data processing.
- Queries run in parallel on all shards.
• GridFS
- Store files of any size easily.
• Geospatial Indexing
- Find object based on location. (i.e. find closest n items to x)
• Many Production Deployments


Other Features of MongoDB
• Supported Platforms
- OSX
- Linux
- Solaris
- Windows
- FreeBSD


MongoDB Basic Concepts
Document
- Analogous to a row in RDBMS
- Represented as JSON (BSON)
- Hierarchical
- Can reference other documents


Document Collection
- Analogous to a row in RDBMS - Analogous to a table in RDBMS
- Represented as JSON (BSON) - Collection of documents
- Hierarchical - Documents can be anything
- Can reference other documents - Advantageous if they are similar


Embedding
- Analogous to a foreign key
- Think “pre-joined relationship”.
- Clearer conceptual model.
- DDD Aggregate Root
- Can be
- Sub Objects
- Collections

MongoDB Basic Operations
Querying
All the following queries will find the document.


Querying

By property value

By embedded object property value

Inserting


Updating
Using Query/Modify/Save


Updating
Using Query/Modify/Save

• Requires each object to be loaded in memory.
• Requires multiple hits to the database.
• Very inefficient.


Updating
Using Atomic Updates


Updating
Using Atomic Updates

• Analogous to transactions.
• Requires only one trip to the database.
• Operations are atomic.
• Can perform multiple operations at once.

Installing MongoDB
1. Download MongoDB. www.mongodb.com/downloads

2. Extract it.
3. Create the data folder. usually /data/db -or- C:datadb

4. Run mongod.exe

That’s it!


Accessing MongoDB via the Shell
• Inserting a document into a collection.
• Querying a collection.
• Modifying a document.
• Deleting a document.

Lets do it!


Accessing MongoDB via C#
• mongo-csharp-driver
- 10gen-supported driver
• mongodb-csharp driver
- Most mature driver for C#.
- Includes LINQ support
• NoRM driver
- Using NoRM for strongly typed access.
- Also has LINQ support

Demo


Accessing MongoDB via REST
• To enable basic REST interface, use --rest command line.
- mongod.exe --rest
• REST interface uses port +1000.
- http://127.0.0.1:28017/database/collection/
- http://127.0.0.1:28017/database/collection/?filter&Field=Value

• Full REST support is provided by the Sleepy.Mongoose lib.
- http://github.com/kchodorow/sleepy.mongoose


MongoDB Replication
• Master-Slave
- Master - mongod.exe --master
- Slave - mongod.exe --source <master url>:<master port>
- Slave can use --slavedelay <delay in seconds> to have a rolling backup.

• Replica Pairs (obsolete)
• Replica Sets (Suggested Approach)
- Full Failover support
- Supports more than 2 servers in a replica cluster
- Data center and rack aware
- Can have passive set members (slaves) that are never primary
• Master-Master (limited)
- Both masters are also configured as slaves
- Safe for insert, delete by id, and any queries
- Unsafe for concurrent updates of single object


MongoDB Auto-Sharding: Features


• Based on a defined shard key.


• Auto-balances as shard servers are added or removed.
- Can go from single master to sharded system with zero downtime.


• Failover handled through replica sets. (each shard replicated)


• Failover handled through replica sets. (each shard replicated)
• Map Reduce queries are run in parallel across shards.


MongoDB Auto-Sharding: Architecture
• Shard Servers
- Instance of mongod.exe --shardsvr
- Optionally configured with a replication set for failover.
• Config Servers
- Instance of mongod.exe --configsvr
- Usually a group of 3. System is up so long as 1 config server is running.
• Shard Routers
- Instance of mongos.exe --configdb <config server>:<config port>
- Acts like mongod.exe to clients.
- Can be on the same box as a shard server.
- Can run on appserver to reduce traffic.


Sample Logical Architecture


Sample Physical Architecture


MongoDB Auto-Sharding: Configuration
Startup Servers
• Startup Shard Servers
- mongod.exe --shardsvr

• Startup Config Servers
- mongod.exe --configsvr

• Startup Shard Routers
- mongos.exe --configdb <config server>:<config port>

Configure Cluster
• Add Shards to the Cluster
- Execute the following command for each shard using either the driver or shell.
- db.runcommand( { addshard : “<shard server>:<shard server port>” } );

• Enable Sharding on the Databases to Shard
- db.runcommand( { enablesharding : “<dbname>” } );

• Specify Collections to Shard
- db.runcommand( { shardCollection : “<collection>”, key : <key pattern> } );
