^ Indeed, but then not sure you're really getting throughput numbers based on what the cache store implementation. In other words, with this test you're testing the async store logic, to see how much throughput you can handle queuing up those modifications… unless you have a validation phase that times how long it takes for the cache store to contain all the data that is supposed to have. Then yes, you'd be measuring how long it takes for all that queued up modifications to be applied, which is a factor or many things, one of which, is the speed of the cache store implementation to apply those changes at the persistence layer.

Re: [infinispan-dev] [infinispan-internal] PutMapCommand is ineffective
by Manik Surtani
Agreed. It does sound pretty heavy. We should investigate a better implementation - the two approaches you suggest both sound good, could you create a JIRA for this?
Adding infinispan-dev, that's the correct place to discuss this.

Hi,
I was playing with efficient ways to write to append-only log and I have some results below.
I've used three implementations: one simply synchronizing the access and calling force(false) after each write (by default 1kB). Second with threads cooperating - every thread puts its data into queue and waits for a short period of time - if then its data are still in the queue, it writes whole queue to disk, flushes it and wakes up other waiting threads. Third implementation (actually three flavours) used one spooler thread which polls the queue, writes as much as it can to disk, flushes and notifies waiting threads. The flavours are in the type of waiting for the spooler to write their data - either spinning on volatile counter, checking this counter with yielding and waiting via Object.wait()/Object.notify().
According to the results, the spooler variant with yielding proved as the best, with 20 threads even 10x faster than the basic variant (which simply does not scale) - as I've experimented more, it scales even more - with 80 threads I have achieved 435k appends - that's 14.16 MB/s. For better context, the basic variant without flushing on 80 threads would handle 1.67M appends = 54.26 MB/s, the spooler 660k appends = 21.48 MB/s (curiously, non-flushing spooler with wait/notify would do 1.19M appends). I do not present the whole table for higher numbers as I don't think that much threads would really access the disk concurrently.
Note: the limit in WaitingAppendOnly says with how big queue the thread won't wait but begins immediately writing the data. Setting this to thread count provides obviously the best performance but in practice the thread number cannot be as easily guessed - therefore, I provide results for exact guess, half the number and twice the number of threads.
Note2: in SingleWriterAppendLog the limit is not that important - it just limits the number of data written in one row before flush.
Note3: on my local machine the spinning version was slowest of the three ones, but still faster than the simple variant.
Source code of the test is in attachment.

Fw: Infinispan DEF - Custom parameters upon a failover
by Strahinja Lazetic
Hi,
Sorry for a bit late response, I was very busy with some other stuff. I have some doubts and comments on your suggestions:
>Well, but you wanted to have a setEnvironment that takes extra params,
so I guess you'll be calling at >some point, so can't you just cast the
callable to your own and call whatever setters you want? I'm >very weary

I am not sure where should I cast my Callable and call the setter from, upon a failover. I mean, can use some of the existing DEF interfaces for it or do it deeper in the code?
>Maybe your distributed callable could have a reference to your own failover policy and query it?
In a case that my Callable is running on a remote node, to achieve this I guess I would have to make the failover policy Serializable and hold a remote reference to it, right? And from the design point of view I am not sure whether it is good that the Callable is aware of its failover policy.
I would appreciate any comment on this.
Best regards,
Strahinja Lazetic

Well, but you wanted to have a setEnvironment that takes extra params, so I guess you'll be
calling at some point, so can't you just cast the callable to your own and call whatever setters you want? I'm very weary of adding random parameter to setEnvironment for "random" stuff :)
> As I mentioned in my example (though maybe not very smart), how can I say to my Callable that it does not start for the first time but rather it was restarted. Or any other data that depends on the specific conditions of the failover (e.g. Callable needs to know a new ip or port that was determined in the FailoverPolicy based on the available targets...).
^ Maybe your distributed callable could have a reference to your own failover policy and query it?

> > I am currently using Infinispan Distributed Execution Framework for my Master thesis project and I am wondering if it is possible that a DistributedCallable receives some custom parameters from the framework upon a failover, besides Cache instance and Set of keys passed in the setEnvironment method. As a simplified example, a DistributedCallable wants to know whether it was restarted or freshly started. If this is not possible, does it make sense to add a new method to the DistributedTaskFailoverPolicy which will return a user supplied parameters Map and then read it from the setEnvironment method in the DistributedCallable? Here are the signatures of the methods I was thinking off:

Introducing builder subpackages
by Navin Surtani
While working through ISPN-2463, and the sub-tasks I was wondering about the organisation of the ConfigurationBuilder classes.
Currently, they are located in org.infinispan.configuration.cache.etc or org.infinispan.configuration.global.etc. The actual Configuration classes are within the same package already as well. To me, this sounds a little bit cluttered and perhaps not very intuitive and I was wondering if it might be a better idea to have something like:
org.infinispan.configuration.cache.builders.ConfigurationBuilder (and others)
org.infinispan.configuration.global.builders.GlobalConfigurationBuilder (etc etc)
Another suggestion could be:
org.infinispan.configuration.builders.cache.etc
org.infinispan.configuration.builders.glocal.etc
The only problem with that would be breaking backward compatibility, but from ISPN 6.x onwards I think that there are a fair few classes and packages being moved around anyway. It's just an idea that might make the API seem a little bit cleaner as to where it's located.
Thoughts?

Big commit coming up
by Manik Surtani
Guys,
I'm about to put in a big commit on master, to switch to the Apache license. The patch will contain:
* Updated README.mkdn
* Updated LICENSE.txt.vm
* A new COPYRIGHT.mkdn in the project root
* Removal of *all* copyright headers on all source code files
Point #4 will mean that all outstanding pull requests will need to be rebased before being merged in.
Also, as a note to reviewers, please ensure there are NO copyright headers on any src code files after this patch is in.
Now before I submit the patch - what does everyone think of this?
Cheers
Manik
