everything you always wanted to know about

Updates in MonetDB/XQuerybut were afraid to ask


Overview• XQuery Update Facility (XQUF)

• semantics & the update tape

• Updatable XML storage in BATs• maintaining order in an array without O(N) cost

• Snapshot Isolation• why we want it, how we got it

• Concurrency Control• optimistic, with “abort convoys”

• Durability• physical logging

• Conclusion & Future Challenges


XQuery Update Facility (XUF)

January 2006, first proposal

Internal primitives:upd:insertBeforeupd:insertAfterupd:insertIntoupd:insertIntoAsLastupd:insertAttributesupd:deleteupd:replaceValueupd:rename

Pending update list concept

upd:applyUpdates

insert

<item id="{id}">

<location>Brazil</location>

<quantity>200</quantity>

<name>XML in a nutshell</name>

<payment>Credit Card, Personal check</payment>

<shipping>Will ship internationally</shipping>

<incategory category="category1"/>

</item>

as last into

fn:doc("xmark.xml")/site/regions/samerica

Example

Semantics

let $root = doc(“foo.xml”)

for $i in (1,2,3)

return

do insert <x>$i</x> as first into $root),

do insert <y>$i</y> as first into $root))

Semantics

let $root = doc(“foo.xml”)

for $i in (1,2,3)

return

(do insert <x>$i</x> as first into $root),

do insert <y>$i</y> as first into $root))

We need to

• define an execution order, and

• enforce it


The Update Tapeupdate = sequence ( int, node, node/str, node/str)

fn:delete() (DELETE, node, nil, nil)

fn:insert_*() (INSERT, tgt-node, tgt-level, expr-node)

fn:set-attr() (ATTR, node, qn, val)

fn:unset-attr() (ATTR, node, qn, nil)

fn:set-text() (TEXT, node, val, nil)

fn:set-pi() (PI, node, ins-val, arg-val)

fn:set-comment() (COMMENT, node, val, nil)

( element construction ), that combines updates, will enforce the correct order of the update tape.

Pathfinder compiler automatically inserts call to

fn:update(item*)

on the result of all update queries

XML Storage RevisitedUpdate-friendly• rid-table is append-only• rid-tuples may be unused• rid = autoincrement column

MonetDB: • rid not stored but computed (virtual oid)• allows positional lookup/join

Not stored no need to update it either

Snapshot Isolation Versus 2-phase locking (2PL) == full serializability

Why not 2PL XML:

• lock semantics much more complex than in relational case (order matters!!)

• node-level locking in staircase join?? (now 10 cycles/node…)


Snapshot Isolation



Why not 2PL XML:



Why Snapshot Isolation:

• great for read-queries, great for ll_scj (runs unmodified)

• quite strong. Better than repeatable read. Oracle/Postgres do it.

Problem with Snapshot Isolation:

• in XQuery, it is unknown at compile-time what to snapshot (fn:doc(..))

Isolation By Shadow Paging (copy-on-write mmap)

• rid/pre delete/insert + attr-replace

Touch one byte per physical page: *addr = *addr;

MMU traps, OS replaces page by a copy

• we would like to replace the master copy once, not all client copies

Master-update


Durability Masters become dirty

• no time to flush them during query

• log all changes to a WAL

= log all tuples that changed = entire pages

Recovery:

• after a crash, we do not know whether dirty pages got saved

• solution: overwrite tables with values from the WAL

Checkpointing Thread:

• every 5 minutes, if ‘many’ changes occurred, checkpoint

• memory mapped bats are sync()-ed ony dirty pages get written

• checkpoint locks collection, halts query processing

The Update Sequence Execute Query

• build update tape

• queries get isolated copies of a document (VM copy-on-write mmap)

Prepare Intensional Updates

• execute update tape.

• does not modify masters (except append-only tables)

Commit Phase (locked phase – per doc-collection)

• precommit

• detect conflicts (not the size-ancestors)

•write WAL (globally locked)

• read master-size-ancestors, use delta, log result

• update master tables

• isolate first! Only then update masters.

• update index structures


Many more Issues Solved

Conflicting Updates

• detect conflicting queries:

• look at RID page numbers and attr-IDs

• reacting to conflicts:

• abort query + automatic restart

• run CONVOY of 5 next update queries serially

Indexing and Updates

• Runtime QN NID mapping, with hash table

• read-only: not a hash, but keep sorted & persistent

• keep INS + DEL deltas to commit without changing the hash table

• Runtime NID ATTR hash table

• isolation loses you MonetDB dynamic hash table reuse

• share an old copy, exploit append-mostly

ACID properties on the Meta Level

• Shredding a new doc into a collection Query

• Shredding a new doc into a collection Update

• Using a collection Deleting/adding documents

• Meta Querying Deleting/adding documents

Concurrency

Updates Checkpoint

Shredding Query

Shredding Updates

Allocating New Pages and NIDS

• Offload shredding interference with freelist

• Unlocked access to private pages

• in XQuery, it is unknown at compile-time what to snapshot (fn:doc(..))

2PL (++)375 transactions/5 minutes

= 1.2 transaction/sec


Conclusions It works! Reasonable/good performance!

• transaction mgmt as a module extension outside a kernel works

• identified VM primitives that databases really need

Future work:

• Test on XML update benchmark TPOX (DB2: 700 trans/second)

• Packed Memory Arrays: alternative for page remapping?

• page remapping is technically O(N)

• Engineering:

• support for value-indexing (does PF support it already)

• asynchronous WAL writing to boost throughput

• port MIL to C primitives; port C primitives to Monet5
