A Bit Of XRootD History
1997 – Objectivity, Inc. collaboration

Design & Development to scale Objectivity/DB


First attempt to use commercial DB for Physics data
Successful but problematical
2001 – BaBar decides to use root framework vs Objectivity

Collaboration with INFN, Padova & SLAC created


Design & develop high performance data access system
Work based on what we learned with Objectivity
2003 – First deployment of XRootD system at SLAC
2013 – Wide deployment in LHC & Astrophysics


ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, EXO, Fermi/GLAST, LSST; among others
Protocol also available in dCache, DPM, and EOS

What Is XRootD?
A system for scalable cluster data access
xrootd
cmsd
Data Access
Data Clustering
Not a file system & not just for file systems
If you can write a plug-in you can cluster it

The essential key for Qserv

The Original Challenge
The physics analysis regime “problem”
Write once read many times access mode
 Small block sparse random I/O
 Hundreds of servers of uneven reliability
 Thousands parallel batch jobs
 100’s of thousands file sessions

The LSST Challenge

XRootD Synergistic Solution
Minimize latency
Parallelizable protocol, file sessions, lockless I/O, sticky threads
Minimize hardware requirements
Short code paths, compact objects
Cache aware members
Minimal data movement
No cross-thread data sharing
Minimize human cost
Single configuration file
Cookie cutter installation
No database needed
Real time node change,
Native FS admin tools
Maximize scaling
Result
<7 us overhead & <100 MB footprint & unlimited servers

(Leaf Nodes)
Qserv worker nodes reside only at the leaves
Each identified by a dynamic set of arbitrary names

Request routing is very different from traditional data management models
This implements a structured network of request routers
Capable of automatically recovering from adverse conditions
Much like internet routing
