    UStore:面向新型硬件的统一存储系统

    UStore: Unified Storage System for Advanced Hardware

    • 摘要: 数据规模的爆发式增长使得分布式存储广泛应用,长期以来分布式存储直接使用本地文件系统访问本地存储资源,随着高性能NVMe SSD、持久内存(persistent memory,PMEM)、异构加速设备的出现,本地文件系统难以发挥新型器件的特性和性能优势. 现有很多研究针对SSD或者PMEM的硬件特性在软件层面进行优化和改进. 然而,这些工作兼容性和扩展性差,不能灵活适配硬件环境变化,缺乏面向新型硬件的统一解决方案. 提出了一种兼容多种存储介质的统一存储系统UStore,可根据业务场景灵活选择存储介质,并针对PMEM、KVS加速卡、NVMe SSD等典型硬件进行组合设计优化,充分利用其硬件特性,满足多层次的业务需求;通过一种与物理存储介质形态解耦的元数据设计,使其适应不同硬件的性能和原子更新能力差异,实现灵活的元数据存储策略;通过高效的数据管理机制和更新策略,实现无日志的数据原子写保证,消除了现有系统的写放大以及性能抖动等问题.实验结果表明,相比于BlueStore,UStore的4KB随机读性能提升了3.2倍,4KB随机写提高了8.2倍,3种典型硬件组合下UStore表现出与之相匹配的数据访问特征,充分发挥了存储硬件的特性和性能.

       

      Abstract: The explosive growth of data scale has made distributed storage widely used. For a long time, distributed storage directly uses the local file system to access local storage resources. With the emergence of high-performance NVMe SSD, PMEM(persistent memory), and heterogeneous acceleration devices, it is difficult for the local file system to give full play to the features and performance advantages of new hardware. Many existing researches have optimized and improved the performance according to the hardware characteristics of SSD or PMEM at the software level. However, these studies have poor compatibility and scalability, cannot flexibly adapt to changes in the hardware environment, and lack a unified solution for new kinds of hardware. A unified storage system UStore that is compatible with multiple storage media is proposed, which can flexibly select storage media according to business scenarios, and optimize the combined design of typical hardware such as PMEM, KVS accelerator cards, and NVMe SSDs, and make full use of its hardware characteristics to meet multiple needs. Through a metadata design decoupled from the physical storage medium, UStore can adapt to the performance and atomic update ability of different hardwares, and realize a flexible metadata management strategy; through the efficient data management mechanism and update strategy, the log free data atomic write guarantee is realized, and the write amplification and performance jitter of the existing system are eliminated. The experimental results show that compared with BlueStore, UStore’s 4KB random read performance is improved by 3.2×, and the 4KB random write performance is improved by 8.2×. Under three typical hardware combinations, UStore shows matching data access characteristics, giving full play to the characteristics and performance of storage hardware.
