> We have been having internal discussion on load balancer for thin client for
> PQS. The general consensus we have is to have an embedded load balancer with
> the thin client instead of using external load balancer such as haproxy. The
> idea is to not to have another layer between client and PQS. This reduces
> operational cost for system, which currently leads to delay in executing
> projects.
> But this also comes with challenge of having an embedded load balancer which
> can maintain sticky sessions, do fair load balancing knowing the load
> downstream of PQS server. In addition, load balancer needs to know location
> of multiple PQS server. Now, the thin client needs to keep track of PQS
> servers via zookeeper ( or other means).
> In the new design, the client ( PQS client) , it is proposed to have an
> embedded load balancer.
> Where will the load Balancer sit ?
> The load load balancer will embedded within the app server client.
> How will the load balancer work ?
> Load balancer will contact zookeeper to get location of PQS. In this case,
> PQS needs to register to ZK itself once it comes online. Zookeeper location
> is in hbase-site.xml. It will maintain a small cache of connection to the
> PQS. When a request comes in, it will check for an open connection from the
> cache.
> How will load balancer know load on PQS ?
> To start with, it will pick a random open connection to PQS. This means that
> load balancer does not know PQS load. Later , we can augment the code so that
> thin client can receive load info from PQS and make intelligent decisions.
> How will load balancer maintain sticky sessions ?
> While we still need to investigate how to implement sticky sessions. We can
> look for some open source implementation for the same.
> How will PQS register itself to service locator ?
> PQS will have location of zookeeper in hbase-site.xml and it would register
> itself to the zookeeper. Thin client will find out PQS location using
> zookeeper.
