• We are not talking about crawler

• No discussion on PageRank… maybe?

Scale ????

800,000 Machines

• What gives us this scale?

Good Code?

More servers?

Powerful

GFS versus NFS

Network File System (NFS) Google File System (GFS)

• Single machine makes part of  Single virtual file system spread over
its file system available to many machines
other machines  Optimized for sequential read
• Sequential or random access and local accesses
• PRO: Simplicity, generality,  PRO: High throughput, high
transparency capacity
• CON: Storage capacity and  "CON": Specialized for particular
throughput limited by single types of applications

Elegant Master Failover

SERVER HARDWARE Chunk Size is now 1MB

RACK Only ever lost one 64MB chunk (in GFS I) during its entire production deployment so
DC assumed extremely reliable
Exterior Network 24

CAP Theorem
(Brewer's theorem)

• Consistency: All nodes see the same data at the same
time
• Availability: Node failures do not prevent survivors
from continuing to operate
• Partition tolerance: The system continues to operate
despite arbitrary message loss

25

GOOGLE DATABASE

Accesses the underlying Data on behalf of the upper layers
and ultimately the applications

26

Why not commercial DB?
• Scale is too large for most commercial databases
• Cost would be very high
– Building internally means system can be applied
across many projects for low incremental cost
• Low-level storage optimizations help
performance significantly
– Much harder to do when running on top of a database
layer
“Also fun and challenging to build large-scale
systems”
27

BigTable
• A distributed storage system for managing structured data.
• Scalable
– Thousands of servers
– Terabytes of in-memory data
– Petabyte of disk-based data
– Millions of reads/writes per second, efficient scans
• Self-managing
– Servers can be added/removed dynamically
– Servers adjust to load imbalance
• Used for many Google projects
– Web indexing, Personalized Search, Google Earth, Google Analytics,
Google Finance, …

28

BigTable

• Physically sorted on row-key – like a row-store
• Column families - like column-stores
• Variable (record-by-record) columns within a column family
• Column-values versioned; stored in reverse chronological order
• Designed to store hyperlink structure of web

Word-Count using MapReduce
Problem: determine the frequency of each word in a large
document collection


What runs on top of all this

33

PageRank: Intuition Shouldn't E's vote be
worth more than F's?

G A

H E B

How many levels I C
should we consider? F
J D

• Imagine a contest for The Web's Best Page
– Initially, each page has one vote
– Each page votes for all the pages it has a link to
– To ensure fairness, pages voting for more than one page must
split their vote equally between them
– Voting proceeds in rounds; in each round, each page has the
number of votes it received in the previous round
– In practice, it's a little more complicated - but not much!
34

Random Surfer Model
• PageRank has an intuitive basis in random walks
on graphs

• Imagine a random surfer, who starts on a random
page and, in each step,
– with probability d, clicks on a random link on the page
– with probability 1-d, jumps to a random page (bored?)

• The PageRank of a page can be interpreted as the
fraction of steps the surfer spends on the
corresponding page

Pre Presentation
The Google Philosophy (according to ed)

• Jedis build their own lightsabres (the MS Eat your own Dog Food)
• Parallelize Everything
• Distribute Everything (to atomic level if possible)
• Compress Everything (CPU cheaper than bandwidth)
• Secure Everything (you can never be too paranoid)
• Cache (almost) Everything
• Redundantize Everything (in triplicate usually)
• Latency is VERY evil
