Thursday, October 22, 2015 SPEAKER: Igor Canadi and Mark Callaghan, Facebook TITLE: The Journey from Faster to Better ABSTRACT: We continue to get new uses and new requirements for RocksDB. Faster average performance isn¹t sufficient for OLTP, we also need minimal variance in response time. We will describe our efforts to improve the quality of service in RocksDB and plans to be efficient on a variety of storage devices including SSD, disk and hybrid (disk + SSD). We expect some of our open issues to be interesting to systems researchers. We will also share stories about fun times in the land of web-scale DBMS deployments. BIO:
Mark Callaghan worked with great teams to make MySQL better for web-scale deployments at Facebook & Google for 9+ years. His current focus at Facebook is database algorithms and storage systems for small data (OLTP) workloads. He also works with WebScaleSQL and RocksDB to make MySQL and MongoDB better. Prior to his web-scale work he spent many years working on RDBMS internals at Oracle and Informix. He invented and implemented a very fast general purpose sort algorithm for the Oracle RDBMS. He has an MS in CS from UW-Madison. VISITOR HOST: Andy Pavlo SDI / ISTC SEMINAR QUESTIONS? *partially funded by |
