Session Descriptions

“Stateful Stream Processing with Samza and RocksDB”

Stateful stream processing powers thousands of applications at LinkedIn, ranging from notifications, abuse and trust, service monitoring and diagnostics, and many more. Samza is run as a managed stream processing service at LinkedIn and uses RocksDB to back its state storage abstractions. Presented by Abhishek Shivanna and Ray Matharu, this session details the systems and enhancements LinkedIn has built to provide consistency, fault tolerance, availability, and operability for its managed stream processing service—and the lessons learned in doing so.

“Characterizing, Modeling, and Benchmarking RocksDB Key-Value Workloads at Facebook”

Hosted by Facebook’s Siying Dong and Zhichao Cao, this session is part of a paper accepted into FAST 2020, the 18th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies, taking place the same week. In order to make debugging, performance tuning, and workload analysis easier for RocksDB developers and users, Cao and Dong developed a set of workload tracing, replaying, and analyzing tools for RocksDB. In this talk, the detailed characterization of three RocksDB production use cases at Facebook will be introduced. These characterizations reveal several interesting findings such as strong key-space locality, key/value size distributions, and special temporal patterns. Moreover, a new benchmark that follows the distribution models from the real-world workloads is developed in db_bench, which will also be presented and discussed in this talk.
