HBaseCon 2012 | Lessons learned from OpenTSDB - Benoit Sigoure, StumbleUpon
The document discusses lessons learned from the development of OpenTSDB, focusing on efficient storage of time series data in HBase and the iterative changes made to enhance performance. Key recommendations include using AsynchBase, ensuring idempotent and independent writes, and optimizing row widths while compacting data to improve efficiency. It highlights the importance of predictable key sizes and proper management of regions to avoid performance degradation.

HBaseCon 2012 | Lessons learned from OpenTSDB - Benoit Sigoure, StumbleUpon
- 1. Lessons Learned fromOpenTSDB Or why OpenTSDB is the way it is and how it changed iteratively to correct some of the mistakes made Benoît “tsuna” Sigoure tsuna@stumbleupon.com
- 2. Key concepts • Data Points (time, value) • Metrics proc.loadavg.1m • Tags host=web42 pool=static • Metric + Tags = Time Series • Order of magnitude: >106 time series, >1012 data points put proc.loadavg.1m 1234567890 0.42 host=web42 pool=static
- 3. OpenTSDB @ StumbleUpon •Main production monitoring system for ~2 years • Storing hundreds of billions of data points • Adding over 1 billion data points per day • 13000 data points/s → 130 QPS on HBase • If you had a 5 node cluster, this load would hardly make it sweat
- 4. Do’s • Wider rowsto seek faster before: ~4KB/row, after: ~20KB • Make writes idempotent and independent before: start rows at arbitrary points in time after: align rows on 10m (then 1h) boundaries • Store more data per KeyValue Remember you pay for the key along each value in a row, so large keys are really expensive
- 5. Don’ts • Use HTable/ HTablePool in app servers asynchbase + Netty or Finagle = performance++ • Put variable-length fields in composite keys They’re hard to scan • Exceed a few hundred regions per RegionServer “Oversharding” introduces overhead and makes recovering from failures more expensive
- 6. Use asynchbase HTable asynchbase scan sequential read sequential write 50s 500s 200s 38s 375s 150s 25s 250s 100s 13s 125s 50s 0s 0s 0s 4 8 16 24 32 4 8 16 24 32 4 8 16 24 32 # Threads # Threads # Threads
- 7. How OpenTSDB came to be the way it is Questions: • How to store time series data efficiently in HBase? • How to enable concurrent writes without synchronization between the writers? • How to save space/memory when storing hundreds of billions of data items in HBase?
- 8. Ta Time Series Data in HBase ke 1 Col don’t care umn Key 1234567890 1 values 1234567892 2 timestamps 1234567894 3 Simplest design: only 1 time series, 1 row with a single KeyValue per data point. Supports time-range scans.
- 9. Ta Time Series Data in HBase ke 2 Colu mn Key foo 1234567890 1 foo 1234567892 3 metric name fool 1234567890 2 Metric name first in row key for data locality. Problem: can’t store the metric as text in row key due to space concerns
- 10. Ta Time Series Data in HBase ke 3 Colu Separate mn Key Lookup Table: Key Value 0x1 1234567890 1 0x1 foo 0x1 1234567892 3 0x2 fool metric foo 0x1 ID 0x2 1234567890 2 fool 0x2 Use a separate table to assign unique IDs to metric names (and tags, not shown here). IDs give us a predictable length and achieve desired data locality.
