WiscKey is a highly SSD optimized key-value storage based on LevelDB, presented in a paper published in 14th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies in Feb 2016. This is my implementation derived from LevelDB v1.23.

WiscKey 是一个对SSD高度优化的基于LevelDB的KV存储,发表在2016年2月第14届USENIX文件和存储技术会议上。这是我从LevelDB v1.23派生出的对WiscKey的实现。

Feature

  • Separate keys from values, only keys are stored in LSM-tree, while values are stored in value-log file (vlog).

  • Highly write performance optimized on SSD. When benchmarked with default configuration, Wisckey is double faster than leveldb on sequential writing and treble faster on random writing.

简介

Wisckey的主要思路是键-值分离。在LSM树中,键是按照顺序存储的,但是值却可以被分离且乱序地管理,只要访问键可以获得键到值的映射即可。 Wisckey将数据的值分离地存储在日志中(称为value-log,简称vlog),LSM树中仅保存对应值在vlog文件中的地址,在查询时先获取地址,然后再到文件中读取数据。 下图示意了键-值分离存储的设计。关系型数据库引擎在实现索引时有着相同的设计:为索引建立的B+树仅存储对应行的指针或主键,当索引覆盖无效时,通过索引的查询需要在表中进行二次查找。

键-值分离的设计

LSM树的操作开销主要来源于Compaction,这是当LSM树某一层的SSTable过大时将数据压向下一层的操作。因为通常来说键的大小要小于值, 因此把值从LSM树中分离出来能显著减小LSM树的大小,降低Compaction的开销。这能大大提高写入数据的性能,同时更少的额外写操作(称之为写放大)有利于提升存储设备寿命, 减少性能损耗,这对于SSD尤为重要。

在查询时Wisckey需要访问vlog文件,这次额外的随机读操作会降低查询的性能。但是较之传统的存储设备,SSD有着更好的随机读性能;同时Wisckey具有更小的LSM树和强度更小的Compaction, 在更小的LSM树上进行查询耗时更少,Compaction的影响也被降低。因此Wisckey的随机查询性能并不会弱于LevelDB。然而在顺序查询的场景下,因为LevelDB中值和键在一起有序存放, 通过LevelDB的迭代器进行范围查询可以顺序地读到数据,但是Wisckey需要随机读取vlog文件,这降低了Wisckey的顺序查询速度。
