Alluxio Journal Evolution – Towards high availability and fault tolerance
March 4, 2022
ALLUXIO DAY X 2022
March 3, 2022
Within Alluxio, the master processes keep track of global metadata for the file system. This includes file system metadata, block cache metadata, and worker metadata. When a client interacts with the filesystem it must first query or update the metadata on the master processes. Given their central role in the system, master processes can be backed by a highly available, fault tolerant replicated journal. This talk will introduce and compare the two available implementations of this journal in Alluxio, the first using Zookeeper and the more recent version using Raft.
