ObjectId / Chunk index discussion

  • two use cases: user queries, and data loader
  • for data loader, need to load 40B in 24h, so 1/2 million/sec
  • build index locally on each worker (one index for all chunks), preferably serve it from RAM, or at least SSD
  • serve it through xrootd, or memcached
  • Reddis might be an option, it has some extra smarts eg for compressing ranges
  • for memcached
    • put o(1000) elements per bucket to fill the pages we transfer through network
    • we could further rely on replication to speedup recovery
  • for loader use case, preload cache for area that loader works on
  • conclusions: try xrootd and memcached at in2p3 cluster and see what throughput we could get
