Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "ArchitectureInternals" page has been changed by JonHermes. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureInternals?action=diff&rev1=20&rev2=21 -------------------------------------------------- * !StorageService is kind of the internal counterpart to !CassandraDaemon. It handles turning raw gossip into the right internal state. * !AbstractReplicationStrategy controls what nodes get secondary, tertiary, etc. replicas of each key range. Primary replica is always determined by the token ring (in !TokenMetadata) but you can do a lot of variation with the others. !RackUnaware just puts replicas on the next N-1 nodes in the ring. !RackAware puts the first non-primary replica in the next node in the ring in ANOTHER data center than the primary; then the remaining replicas in the same as the primary. * !MessagingService handles connection pooling and running internal commands on the appropriate stage (basically, a threaded executorservice). Stages are set up in !StageManager; currently there are read, write, and stream stages. (Streaming is for when one node copies large sections of its SSTables to another, for bootstrap or relocation on the ring.) The internal commands are defined in !StorageService; look for `registerVerbHandlers`. + * Configuration for the node (administrative stuff, such as which directories to store data in, as well as global configuration, such as which global partitioner to use) is held by !DatabaseDescriptor. Per-KS, per-CF, and per-Column metadata are all stored as migrations across the database and can be updated by calls to system_update/add_* thrift calls, or can be changed locally and temporarily at runtime. See ConfigurationNotes. = Write path = * !StorageProxy gets the nodes responsible for replicas of the keys from the !ReplicationStrategy, then sends !RowMutation messages to them.
