MemDB

Distributed Transactional In-Memory Database

Performance and Scalable

• Fast in memory data access, up to 25,000 ops (single doc read/write) per shard (each shard take one CPU core).
• System capacity is horizontally scalable, performance grows linearly by adding more shards.
• No single point bottleneck, all part of system is scalable, unlimited capability potential.

True Distributed ACID Transaction

• True ACID(Stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transaction support on distributed environment.
• MemDB brings ACID transaction support for MongoDB, on distributed environment! You can get full transaction support of traditional SQL database (like MySQL), while not losing the scalability of NoSQL database (like MongoDB).

MongoDB and Mongoose Compatible

• It's just a 'MongoDB' with a cache layer which support distributed transaction.
• Directly use of MongoDB's query API.
• Built-in Mongoose support, easy to port existing Mongoose project to MemDB.

High Availability

• Each shard is backed by one or more slaves, no single point of failure.

Quick Start

Install Dependencies

• Install Node.js
• Install Redis
• Install MongoDB

Make sure Redis and MongoDB has started

Install MemDB

• MemDB should be installed globally

  sudo npm install -g memdb-server
  

Configure MemDB

Copy default config file from node_modules/memdb-server/memdb.conf.js to ~/.memdb/ (mkdir if not exist), and modify it on your need. Please read comments carefully.

Start MemDB

Use memdbcluster to control lifecycle of memdb server cluster

memdbcluster [start | stop | status] [--conf=memdb.conf.js] [--shard=shardId]

Play with memdb shell

See the video bellow, note how ACID transaction work cross multiple shards.

Mdbgoose

Mdbgoose is a modified Mongoose version that work for memdb

var memdb = require('memdb-client');
var P = memdb.Promise;
var mdbgoose = memdb.goose;

// Define player schema
var playerSchema = new mdbgoose.Schema({
    _id : String,
    name : String,
    areaId : Number,
    deviceType : Number,
    deviceId : String,
    items : [mdbgoose.SchemaTypes.Mixed],
}, {collection : 'player'});
// Define player model
var Player = mdbgoose.model('player', playerSchema);

var main = P.coroutine(function*(){
    // Connect to memdb
    yield mdbgoose.connectAsync({
        shards : { // specify all shards here
            s1 : {host : '127.0.0.1', port: 31017},
            s2 : {host : '127.0.0.1', port: 31018},
        }
    });

    // Make a transaction in s1
    yield mdbgoose.transactionAsync(P.coroutine(function*(){

        var player = new Player({
            _id : 'p1',
            name: 'rain',
            areaId : 1,
            deviceType : 1,
            deviceId : 'id1',
            items : [],
        });

        // insert a player
        yield player.saveAsync();

        // find player by id
        var doc = yield Player.findByIdAsync('p1');
        console.log('%j', doc);

        // find player by areaId, return array of players
        var docs = yield Player.findAsync({areaId : 1});
        console.log('%j', docs);

        // find player by deviceType and deviceId
        player = yield Player.findOneAsync({deviceType : 1, deviceId : 'id1'});

        // update player
        player.areaId = 2;
        yield player.saveAsync();

        // remove the player
        yield player.removeAsync();

    }), 's1');
});

if (require.main === module) {
    main().finally(process.exit);
}

To run the sample above:

• Add the following index config in memdb.conf.js

  collections : {
  player : {
      indexes : [
          {
              keys : ['areaId'],
          },
          {
              keys : ['deviceType', 'deviceId'],
              unique : true,
          },
      ]
  }
  }
  

• restart memdb cluster

  memdbcluster stop
  memdbcluster start
  

• Make sure you have started shard 's1' on localhost:31017

• Install npm dependencies

  npm install memdb-client
  

• Run with node >= 0.12 with --harmony option

  node --harmony sample.js

Architecture

Relationship between MemDB and MongoDB

MemDB is like a 'cache layer' built up on MongoDB which support distributed ACID transaction.

MemDB has its own API which similar to MongoDB, however, you can still use MongoDB's native query API by directly access backend storage, here are the guidelines:

• Do simple query and update through MemDB API, which is ACID transaction safe.
• Do complex query through backend MongoDB, the read is not transaction safe.
• Do complex update through backend MongoDB offline (All MemDB shards are shutdown).

Here are some basic rules for memdb:

• Data is not bind to specified shard, you can access any data from any shard.
• All operations inside a single transaction must be executed on one single shard.
• Access the same data from the same shard if possible, which will maximize performance.
