Replica Sets Painless scaling and High Availability (HA) Viktor Petersson
@vpetersson
Who am I? { name : ‘Viktor Petersson’, description :
[ ‘geek’, ‘entrepreneur’ ], founder_of : ‘wireload’, twitter : ‘@vpetersson’, email : ‘

’, } @vpetersson
What is MongoDB? @vpetersson • Key-value store • Schemas less
• Distributed file system (GridFS) • Built-in Map/Reduce • Built to scale
MongoDB 101 Relational Database MongoDB Database Database Table Collection Row
Document Database structure (simplified) @vpetersson
MongoDB 101 Relational Database MongoDB Master Primary Slave Secondary Arbiter
(Hidden) Node types @vpetersson
What are Replica Sets and why should I care? @vpetersson
Typical failover with relational databases Master Slave Failover IP Master
Slave Failover IP Master Normal Degraded @vpetersson (two servers, can lose one)
More complex failover with relational databases Failover IP Normal @vpetersson
Proxies Database servers Failover IP Degraded (four servers, can lose one of each kind)
Failover with MongoDB Primary Secondary Normal Degraded Secondary Driver Primary
Secondary Secondary Driver Primary @vpetersson (three servers, can lose two)
Primary Secondary Down -> Recovering Recovering -> Secondary Secondary Driver
Primary Secondary Secondary Driver Primary Secondary Primary Recovering Automatic recovery @vpetersson
Real life example: Taking down the primary for maintenance. No
dropped connections. Primary Secondary @vpetersson
Creating a Replica Set is dead simple. All it takes
is three servers (s0, s1, s2) and three commands¹. $ mongo > rs.initiate() > rs.add(‘s1’) > rs.add(‘s2’) 1. After adding “replSet=myRepSet” and “rest = true” to mongo.conf @vpetersson
Live demo! 3 servers with 1 client @vpetersson
Election @vpetersson 1. Most up to date 2. Highest priority
3. Less than 10s behind Primary
Configure node priority $ cfg = rs.conf() $ cfg.members[x].priority =
n $ rs.reconfig(cfg) x = Member id, n = Priority (0 - 100), default is 1. @vpetersson
Leverage your secondary-nodes Warning: Secondaries may be out-of-date. Read preference
• Primary (default) • Secondary • Secondary_only @vpetersson
What happens when I’ve outgrown my Replica Set? @vpetersson
@vpetersson mongos repset0 repset1 repsetN Sharding
Useful commands View server status $ db.serverStatus() View the replication
status $ rs.status() Step down as Primary $ rs.stepDown(n) @vpetersson
• Improved location awareness • Improved concurrent capacity • TTL
collections @vpetersson What’s new in MongoDB 2.2? Full release notes: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.2/ (released yesterday)
Summary @vpetersson • Replica Sets are extremely easy to set
up • Doesn’t require failover IPs or custom scripts • Minimal maintenance • Built to scale
Questions? @vpetersson
