Redis, an In-Memory Key-Value Database, is widely used in services that require real time data processing and storage. Since main memory is volatile, Redis has a problem of data loss if the system is terminated abnormally. To prevent this problem, Redis stores logs on disk, preventing data loss by restoring logs when the system is terminated. The AOF recovery mechanism, a method of appending requested commands in disk as a log format, operates with the “everysec” policy that writes logs every second, and the “always” policy that writes a log every time a command is requested. The “everysec” policy does not degrade performance of Redis, but data loss can occur if the system is terminated abnormally within one second. Conversely, the “always” policy does not cause data loss, but it requires disk operation for every command, causing performance degradation. We propose a system model that constructs AOF buffer in non-volatile memory and stores logs in the buffer, which are not synchronized to disk in the “everysec” policy. The proposed model prevents data loss and has approximately 100 times better performance than the “always” policy.
Dual Write Buffer Algorithm for Improving Performance and Lifetime of SSDs
Se Jun Han, Dong Hyun Kang, Young Ik Eom
In this paper, we propose a hybrid write buffer architecture comprised of DRAM and NVRAM on SSD and a write buffer algorithm for the hybrid write buffer architecture. Unlike other write buffer algorithms, the proposed algorithm considers read pages as well as write pages to improve the performance of storage devices because most actual workloads are read-write mixed workloads. Through effectively managing NVRAM pages, the proposed algorithm extends the endurance of SSD by reducing the number of erase operations on NAND flash memory. Our experimental results show that our algorithm improved the buffer hit ratio by up to 116.51% and reduced the number of erase operations of NAND flash memory by up to 56.66%.
