SCM Overview
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Storage Container Manager or SCM is a very important component of ozone. SCM
|
|
offers block and container-based services to Ozone Manager. A container is a
|
|
collection of unrelated blocks under ozone. SCM and data nodes work together
|
|
to maintain the replication levels needed by the cluster.
|
|
|
|
It is easier to look at a putKey operation to understand the role that SCM plays.
|
|
|
|
To put a key, a client makes a call to KSM with the following arguments.
|
|
|
|
-- putKey(keyName, data, pipeline type, replication count)
|
|
|
|
1. keyName - refers to the file name.
|
|
2. data - The data that the client wants to write.
|
|
3. pipeline type - Allows the client to select the pipeline type. A pipeline
|
|
refers to the replication strategy used for replicating a block. Ozone
|
|
currently supports Stand Alone and Ratis as two different pipeline types.
|
|
4. replication count - This specifies how many copies of the block replica should be maintained.
|
|
|
|
In most cases, the client does not specify the pipeline type and replication
|
|
count. The default pipeline type and replication count are used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ozone Manager when it receives the putKey call, makes a call to SCM asking
|
|
for a pipeline instance with the specified property. So if the client asked
|
|
for RATIS replication strategy and a replication count of three, then OM
|
|
requests SCM to return a set of data nodes that meet this capability.
|
|
|
|
If SCM can find this a pipeline ( that is a set of data nodes) that can meet
|
|
the requirement from the client, then those nodes are returned to OM. OM will
|
|
persist this info and return a tuple consisting of {BlockID, ContainerName, and Pipeline}.
|
|
|
|
If SCM is not able to find a pipeline, then SCM creates a logical pipeline and then returns it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SCM manages blocks, containers, and pipelines. To return healthy pipelines,
|
|
SCM also needs to understand the node health. So SCM listens to heartbeats
|
|
from data nodes and acts as the node manager too.
