MongoDB Internal Architecture

Ғылым және технология

I’m a big believer that database systems share similar core fundamentals at their storage layer and understanding them allows one to compare different DBMS objectively. For example, How documents are stored in MongoDB is no different from how MySQL or PostgreSQL store rows.
Everything goes to disk, the trick is to fetch what you need from disk efficiently with as fewer I/Os as possible, the rest is API.
In this video I discuss the evolution of MongoDB internal architecture on how documents are stored and retrieved focusing on the index storage representation. I assume the reader is well versed with fundamentals of database engineering such as indexes, B+Trees, data files, WAL etc, you may pick up my database course to learn the skills.
Let us get started.

    Column level or field level locking can cause problems if value of other column/field is being set based on the value of another column/field which suddenly someone has changed. Though if the read operation was performed in the same transaction in which update is being performed, we can prevent this issue.

    Wow, this was interesting! Moving from 2 io logn searches in So the max size of a doc that can be stored in mongo is 16MB, after compression from json to bson lets say the size of the doc is 1MB and the leaf_page_max is 32KB, that means, if we had a document of size 1MB and we search by _id, and we want the entire document, there would be around 32 io calls (1mb/32kb); since we can only fetch one page in 1 io? :o

    In the 60’s and 70’s storage was incredibly expensive. So it was clever to use tables. You could store more for less. You pay in write/read performance. Now storage is dirt cheap. So you pay a small amount in storage but you get horizontal scaling and more performant write/read. There are other differences like ACID compliance but I think it’s good to know the history and motivations.

    Hi @hussein Want to understand 1 concept. Since file system allows complete page to be read and flushed Then how is sequential io fast? The one we use for WAL. Wouldn’t that sequential io have to write the entire page back to disk? Please help me clarify this doubt. Thanks.

    Good point, Let me clarify the misconception. WAL files are append only on-disk data structure in which changes for transactions are appended to end of file via utilizing sequential access pattern, not random access. There is common misconception that disks are slow, but this is really only the case for random access. On disk data structure(i.e WAL files, append only for storing *changes not data itself )to take advantage of the sequential access pattern, the modern disk drives in a RAID configuration( i.e., with disks striped together for higher performance) could comfortably achieve several hundreds MB/sec of read and write speed.

    Question around 14:00 ---> How is writing to WAL different from writing to data file? Same risks apply to both... Flushing pages of data file must be same as flushing pages of WAL. So, what does DBMS really achieve by offloading writes to WAL files from data files?

    I will share my opinions to clear doubts. Writing to data file - uses random access Writing to wal file - uses sequential access. Sequential access is faster than random access. For Durability, apart from writing to log file, also checkpoint approach used to synch in-memory dirty pages with on disk data pages. If DB crashes, before synch happened, no worries. We have wal file, based on that data pages can be constructed again. No data loss will happen, if transaction committed successfully.

    @@egasimov that's the whole confusion I have... WAL records are also going into a file on disk... So what if there's a crash before that sync operation? Or, are we saying WAL file writes are synchronous ( i.e. call fsync() immediately) and data file writes are asynchronous ( background writers).

  • @egasimov

    @egasimov

    Жыл бұрын

    Q: So what if there is crash before that synch operation? A: After crash, dbms first check checkpoint where it left off and starting from that point trying to update on disk data pages - which already maybe stale, with help of changes already existed in WAL file Q: WAL file writes are synchronous? A:After changes are appended to WAL file, transaction will be committed successfully and sent message: “Transaction successfully committed” to client. Probably, dbms buffers the changes and then trying to append them to WAL file to reduce IO rather than calling each time fwrite() when transaction was asked to commit. Q: Data file writer are asynchronous? A:Background writers works as job that constantly are trying synching in memory pages with on disk pages in certain time interval.

    I'm confused. In WAL, If writing to the disk is expensive so instead we write in memory and to the log file. Isn't writing to the log file as expensive as writing to the data file directly ? Where is the performance gain ? Unless writing to the log file is faster than writing to different place in data files. Is that it ?

    33:26 That’s not what a clustered index is, what you described is an Alternative 1 type index, which is clustered by nature. Commonly, indexes are Alternative 2, where the leafs nodes only store the key and a pointer to the page (for a B+ tree index), but they can be clustered as well

    The so called 'NoSQL' movement purpose was to create a new breed of storage engines that could leverage distributed computing and separate storage from compute. That required a huge investment from companies and community in terms of time so the frontent part for those new breed database engines wasn't a priority at the beginning. So many people mistakenly saw this as a war against the old standard interaction protocols (SQL etc) missing the bigger picture. Now after a decade or so we see all those new breed databases embrace all the concepts of the past (sql, tables, columns etc). Just a clarification for those they think structure was the motive behind 'NoSQL'
