Optimizing Write Performance for Read Optimized Databases

چکیده
Compression in column-oriented databases has been proven to offer both performance enhancements and reductions in storage consumption. This is especially true for read access as compressed data can directly be processed for query execution.Nevertheless, compression happens to be disadvantageous when it comes to write access due to unavoidable re-compression: write-access requires significantly more data to be read than involved in the particular operation, more tuples may have to be modified depending on the compression algorithm, and tablelevel locks have to be acquired instead of row-level locks as long as no second version of the data is stored. As an effect the duration of a single modification — both insert and update — limits both throughput and response time significantly. In this paper, we propose to use an additional write-optimized buffer to maintain the delta that in conjunction with the compressed main store represents the current state of the data. This buffer facilitates an uncompressed, column-oriented data structure. To address the mentioned disadvantages of data compression, we trade write-performance for query-performance and memory consumption by using the buffer as an intermediate storage for several modifications which are then populated as a bulk in a merge operation. Hereby, the overhead created by one single re-compression is shared among all recent modifications. We evaluated our implementation inside SAP’s in memory column store. We then analyze the different parameters influencing the merge process, and make a complexity analysis. Finally, we show optimizations regarding resource consumption and merge duration.

This thesis considers two related issues: the impact of disk layout on file system throughput and the integration of transaction support in file systems. Historic file system designs have optimized for reading, as read throughput was the I/O performance bottleneck. Since increasing main-memory cache sizes effectively reduce disk read traffic [BAKER91], disk write performance has become the I/O ...
