1. Look Ma! No more blobs Aparna Chaudhary NoSQL matters, @Cologne Germany 2013
2. EMBRACE POLYGLOT PERSISTENCE! STOP RDBMS ABUSE! KNOW YOUR USE CASE
3. 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
4. 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...
5. How? File System MongoDB RDBMS JCR Document Management
6. 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!
7. 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?
8. Relational database Integrity Consistency Durability Atomicity Joins Backups High Availability You name it, We have it! RDBMS Aggregations
9. RDBMS Developer’s Perspective
10. Challenge #1 RA We need runtime support for document type. RA We need runtime support for document type.
11. 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
12. Challenge #1 String concatenations are ugly… DEV String concatenations are ugly… DEV
13. Challenge #1 Let's build a utility. DEV Let's build a utility. DEV
14. Challenge #1 More Work More Work
15. Challenge #2 RA Document type is 50 char long RA Document type is 50 char long
16. 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.
17. Challenge #2 DOC_TYPE_MAPPING Let's create a mapping table. DEV DOC_TYPE_MAPPING Let's create a mapping table. DEV
18. Challenge #2 Ugly unreadable table names! Ugly unreadable table names!
19. 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...
20. Remember... Our Challenge QA Let's see if we are in spec for response time. Aah..what about performance now? DEV

23. GridFS MongoDB divides the large content into chunks Stores Metadata and Chunks separately http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/gridfs/
24. > 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
25. > mybucket.chunks { "_id" : ObjectId("514d5cb8c2e6ea4329646a5d"), "files_id" : ObjectId("514d5cb8c2e6ea4329646a5c"), "n" : 0, "data" : BinData(0,...) }
26. ? 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...
27. 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.
28. Challenge #2 RA Document type is 50 char long DEV MongoDB namespace can be up to 123 char.
29. So...finally... Simple use case remains simple...well becomes simpler... Read XML Extract Metadata Store Metadata & Content
30. 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'
