EMBRACE POLYGLOT PERSISTENCE! STOP RDBMS ABUSE! KNOW YOUR USE CASE
Parse Extract Store Read XML We don't do rocket science...
Use Case Runtime support for document types Metadata definition provided at runtime Document type names - max 50 char Look up content based on metadata RA
Challenges Storage of up to one million documents of 10KB
to 2GB per document type per year Write 1MB < x msec Retrieve 1MB < y msec ......and details RA But…the Numbers make it interesting...
How? File System MongoDB RDBMS JCR Document Management
if you want to store files, its logical to use
file system. ain't it? File System ✓ Ease of Use ✓ No special skill-set ✓ Backup and Recovery ✓ It’s free!
How do I name them? Support for metadata storage? Performance
with too many small files? Query - Administration? High Availability? Limitation on total number of files?
Relational database Integrity Consistency Durability Atomicity Joins Backups High Availability
You name it, We have it! RDBMS Aggregations
RDBMS Developer’s Perspective
Challenge #1 RA We need runtime support for document type.
RA We need runtime support for document type.
Challenge #1 DOC_1 DOC_2 DOC_3 DOC_4 DOC_5 DOC_6 Dynamic DDL
Generation DOC_1 DOC_2 DOC_3 DOC_4 DOC_5 DOC_6 Dynamic DDL Generation
Challenge #1 String concatenations are ugly… DEV String concatenations are
ugly… DEV
Challenge #1 Let's build a utility. DEV Let's build a
utility. DEV
Challenge #1 More Work More Work
Challenge #2 RA Document type is 50 char long RA
Document type is 50 char long
Challenge #2 TABLE NAME LIMITS Wait… SQL-92 says 128 Char
? We rule. Let's support only 30 char. TABLE NAME LIMITS Wait… SQL-92 says 128 Char ? We rule. Let's support only 30 char.
Challenge #2 DOC_TYPE_MAPPING Let's create a mapping table. DEV DOC_TYPE_MAPPING
Let's create a mapping table. DEV
Challenge #2 Ugly unreadable table names! Ugly unreadable table names!
So...finally... Read XML Dynamic DDL generation Document Type Alias DocumentType
Defined Yes No Extract Metadata Store Metadata Store Content Simple use case becomes complex...
Remember... Our Challenge QA Let's see if we are in
spec for response time. Aah..what about performance now? DEV
MongoDB Document Based GridFS B-Tree Dynamic Schema JSON BSON Query

GridFS MongoDB divides the large content into chunks Stores Metadata
and Chunks separately http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/gridfs/
> mybucket.files { "_id" : ObjectId("514d5cb8c2e6ea4329646a5c"), "chunkSize" : NumberLong(262144), "length"
: NumberLong(103015), "md5" : "34d29a163276accc7304bd69c5520e55", "filename" : "health_record_2.xml", "contentType" : application/xml, "uploadDate" : ISODate("2013-03-23T07:41:44.907Z"), "aliases" : null, "metadata" : { "fname" : "Aparna", "lname" : "Chaudhary","country" : "Netherlands" } } ObjectId - 12 Byte BSON: 4 Byte - Seconds since Epoch 3 Byte - Machine Id 2 Byte - Process Id 3 Byte - Counter
> mybucket.chunks { "_id" : ObjectId("514d5cb8c2e6ea4329646a5d"), "files_id" : ObjectId("514d5cb8c2e6ea4329646a5c"), "n"
: 0, "data" : BinData(0,...) }
? I'm storing 10KB file, but would it use 256KB
on disk? Last Chunk = FileSize % 256 + Metadata overhead 256 1128KB 256 256 256 104 + x 10KB 10 + x Chunk is as big as it needs to be...
Challenge #1 DEV MongoDB supports Dynamic Schema. You can use
collection per docType and they are created dynamically. RA We need runtime support for document type.
Challenge #2 RA Document type is 50 char long DEV
MongoDB namespace can be up to 123 char.
So...finally... Simple use case remains simple...well becomes simpler... Read XML
Extract Metadata Store Metadata & Content
Remember... Our Challenge QA Let's see if we are in
spec for response time. DEV Performance test is part of our definition of 'DONE'
