Oracle NoSQL DB Release 3.0
 Broader low latency use case support
– Primary and Secondary Indexes
– Indexes automatically maintained
– Provides sorted results
 Low resource cost with high performance
– Low cardinality matching, guaranteed consistent
– Shard-local indexing, low latency record access
– B-trees locally ordered, scanned in parallel, merged result set
– Improved index cache eviction
Secondary Index support

20. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.20
 Get() API specifies index
 Equality or range searches
 Low order multi-value indexes
– Composite index on values
– Parallel Index Scan
– Ordered results
– Indexable single element arrays
Oracle NoSQL DB Release 3.0
Secondary Indexes
Index on (lname, fname)
UserId fname lname email
Table
Users
 Equality search on lname + fname
 Equality search on lname and range on fname
 Range or Equality search on lname by itself
 Can’t search on just fname

21. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.21
Oracle NoSQL DB Release 3.0
plan add-index –table Users -name Users_idx1 –field lname –field fname
1. Defines index on all shards
2. In parallel (per shard) starts table scan via primary key, populates
index
3. Updates get populated into index automatically
4. When all shards are complete, index is available for access

Choosing a Data Model
 Tables
– Highest level abstraction, simple to model, familiar to developers
– System managed Secondary indices, Table evolution support
– Future: Security per table, Query Language
 JSON
– Medium level abstraction, need to model keys (strings), appealing to JSON-centric applications
– Application managed Index Views, Schema evolution support
– Future: Limited security
 Raw Key-Value
– Lowest level abstraction, need to model keys (strings), application serialized data, maximum
flexibility
– Application managed Index Views, record evolution and security – roll your own

28. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.28
Metrics and Best Practices
 No overhead, performs same as JSON schemas with AVRO
serialization
 Use nested tables to encapsulate record types in a hierarchy
 Use Arrays and Arrays of Records to store self contained sets
 Record types can’t be indexed -> flatten into simple types if indexing is
required
Tables

29. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.29
Metrics and Best Practices
 Same rationale as an RDBMS
– Reduces time for lookups/range scans
– Increases overhead for updates
– Provides sorted results
– Add indexes when required
 No optimizer -- application picks index to be used
 Remember to calculate cache size requirement
 New CLI option for get: -reportsize tells you the size of a key. Use output with
DBCacheSize
Indexes

30. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.30
Metrics and Best Practices
 Data Centers may add write latency, depending on durability policy and
inter-data center latency
 Options for tuning:
– Consider reducing durability policy ACK requirement if latency is high
– Consider adding processing threads to use additional CPU
1. Allow Client Driver to perform load balancing
2. Use Secondary Zones for read-only, batch, analytical workloads
3. Use No-Master read consistency in the application
