# Tebis
Tebis is a persistent LSM key value (KV) store desinged for fast storage devices and RDMA networks. Tebis uses two main technologies :
1. Hybrid KV placement via its [Parallax](https://github.com/CARV-ICS-FORTH/parallax) LSM KV store to reduce I/O amplification and increase CPU efficiency.
2. Index shipping via CPU efficient RDMA bulk network transfers to reduce the compaction overhead in replicas. Instead of repeating the compaction in replicas primary ships the index which replicas rewrite to be valid for their storage address space.More details can be found in the Eurosys '22 paper [Tebis: Index Shipping for Efficient Replication in LSM Key-Value Stores](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3492321.3519572).

**Note: It has been tested with gcc 10.1.0**## Build Dependencies
To build Tebis, the following libraries have to be installed on your system:
* `libnuma` - Allocations with NUMA policy
* `libibverbs` - Infiniband verbs
* `librdmacm` - RDMA Connection Manager
* `libzookeeper_mt` - Zookeeper client bindings for CFor Mellanox cards, the Infiniband and RDMA libraries are included in the software package provided by the vendor.
Additionally, Tebis uses cmake for its build system and the gcc and g++ compilers for its compilation.### Installing Dependencies on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Tebis requires CMake version >= 3.11.0. On Ubuntu, you need to add the
following repository to get the latest stable version of CMake:wget -O - https://apt.kitware.com/keys/kitware-archive-latest.asc 2>/dev/null | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://apt.kitware.com/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt updateRun the following command with superuser privileges:
sudo apt install libnuma-dev libibverbs-dev librdmacm-dev libzookeeper-mt-dev
For the build tools and compiler:
sudo apt install cmake build-essential
### Installing Depedencies on Centos/RHEL 7
Tebis requires CMake version >= 3.11.0. On Centos/RHEL this is supplied from the
EPEL repository and can be installed with:sudo yum install cmake3 kernel-devel gcc-c++
#### Dependencies for Single Node Tebis
sudo yum install numactl-devel boost-devel
For RDMA:
sudo yum install libibverbs-devel librdmacm-devel
You also need to install ZooKeeper. Ready-made packages are available from
Cloudera.
1. Add Cloudera's Centos 7 repository as described
[here](https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-14-x/topics/cdh_ig_cdh5_install.html)
2. Install the Zookeeper C binding for clients:yum install zookeeper-native
## Build Configuration
Compilation is done using the clang compiler, provided by the clang package in
most Linux distributions. To configure the build system of Tebis and build it run
the commands:mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DTEBIS_FORMAT=ON
makeOn Centos/RHEL 7, replace the `cmake` command with the `cmake3` command supplied
from the EPEL package of the same name.In the case of the standalone tcp-server you need to allocate a file for Parallax via the command
`fallocate -l G `
Then, you need to initialize it with the kv_format tool of Parallax
`_deps/parallax-build/lib/kv_format.parallax --device --max_regions_num `
Finally, execute
`/tcp_server/tcp-server -t -b -p -f -L0 -GF `
## Build Configuration Parameters
The CMake scripts provided support two build configurations; "Release" and
"Debug". The Debug configuration enables the "-g" option during compilation to
allow debugging. The build configuration can be defined as a parameter to the
cmake call as follows:cmake3 .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug|Release"
The default build configuration is "Debug".
The "Release" build disables warnings and enables optimizations.
## Build Targets
* build/tebis_server/libtebis_client.a - Client library for applications to interact with Tebis
* build/tebis_server/tebis_server - The executable of Tebis server
* build/YCSB-CXXX/ycsb-async-tebis - YCSB that uses Tebis as its storage# Static Analyzer
Install the clang static analyzer with the command:
sudo pip install scan-build
Before running the analyzer, make sure to delete any object files and
executables from previous build by running in the root of the repository:rm -r build
Then generate a report using:
scan-build --intercept-first make
The last line of the above command's output will mention the folder where the
newly created report resides in. For example:"scan-build: Run 'scan-view /tmp/scan-build-2018-09-05-16-21-31-978968-9HK0UO'
to examine bug reports."To view the report you can run the above command, assuming you have a graphical
environment or just copy the folder mentioned to a computer that does and open
the index.html file in that folder.# Pre commit hooks using pre-commit
To install pre-commit:
pip install pre-commit --user
pre-commit --version
2.2.0If the above command does not print 2.2.0 you need to update python using:
sudo yum update python3
Then try upgrading pre-commit:
pip install -U pre-commit --user
To install pre-commit hooks:
cd tebis
pre-commit install
pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msgIf everything worked as it should then the following message should be printed:
pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commitIf you want to run a specific hook with a specific file run:
pre-commit run hook-id --files filename
pre-commit run cmake-format --files CMakeLists.txt## Running Tebis
Tebis uses RDMA for all network communication, which requires support from the
network interface to run. A software implementation (soft-RoCE) exists and can
run on all network interfaces.### Enabling soft-RoCE
soft-RoCE is part of the mainline Linux kernel versions since version 4.9
through the `rdma_rxe` kernel module. To enable it for a network adapter the
following steps are required:#### 1. Install dependencies
The `ibverbs-utils` and `rdma-core` packages are required to enable soft-RoCE.
These packages should be in most distirbutions' repositories##### Installing Dependencies on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Run the following command form a terminal with root access (or use sudo):
```
# apt install ibverbs-utils rdma-core perftest
```##### Enable soft-RoCE
To enable soft-RoCE on a network command run the following commands with
superuser privileges:
```
rxe_cfg start
rxe_cfg add eth_interface
```
where `eth_interface` is the name of an ethernet network adapter interface. To
view available network adapters run `ip a`.The command `rxe_cfg start` has to be run at every boot to use RDMA features.
##### Verify soft-RoCE is working
To verify that soft-RoCE is working, we can run a simple RDMA Write throuhgput
benchmark.First, open two shells, one to act as the server and one to act as the client.
Then run the following commands:
* On the server: `ib_write_bw`
* On the client: `ib_write_bw eth_interface_ip`, where `eth_interface_ip` is
the IP address of a soft-RoCE enabled ethernet interface.Example output:
* Server process:
```

# Using cgroups to Limit Available Memory
You can use `cgroups` to limit the memory available to a process by running the
process using `systemd-run`. In addition to memory allocations, pages in the Linux
kernel's buffer cache count towards the `cgroups` memory limit. Example usage:
```
# systemd-run --unit=unit0 --scope --slice=slice0 --property MemoryLimit=16G
```
Starting a `systemd` unit requires root privileges. The above example will limit
the memory available to a command (including pages in the buffer cache) to 16GB.# Running Tebis on a two server machine configuration
First we need a Zookeeper server. For simplicity we assume that the Zookeeper service runs at zoo:2181. Then we
need to initialize Tebis metadata. This can be done through the command
/scripts/tebis/tebis_zk_init.py**Hosts_file:** Contains the servers of the cluster in the form
Example:
sith2.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:0 leader #(so sith2.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080 will be the initial leader of the system)
sith3.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:0
sith6.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:0**Regions file:** Contains the region info in which we split the key space
Example:
0 -oo MM sith2.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:1 sith3.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:1
1 MM ZZ sith3.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:1 sith6.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:1
2 ZZ +oo sith6.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:1 sith2.cluster.ics.forth.gr:8080:1In each tebis server we need a allocated file where Tebis will store its data. Each server's storage capacity will be equal
to the size of the file provided. The server will create its own file (or use dd or fallocate).
*Example: `fallocate -l 100G /path/to/file`*Then we need to boot first the leader of the Tebis rack
```
/tebis_server/tebis_server -d -z -r -p -c [-t ] [-g ] [-i <"send_index" | "build_index">] [-s ]
```example: build/tebis_server/tebis_server -d /nvme/par1.dat -z sith2:2181 -r 192.168.4 -p 8080 -c 3
example: build/tebis_server/tebis_server -d /nvme/par1.dat -z sith2:2181 -r 192.168.4 -p 8080 -c 3 -t 16 -g 10 -i send_index -s 100# Tests
