+# Background
+
+Here is the summary of the challenges:
+
+- The current implementation depends on consensus on the order of requests 
received and not on consensus on the processing of the requests.
+- The double buffer implementation currently is meant to optimize the rate at 
which writes get flushed to RocksDB but the effective batching achieved is 1.2 
request (on average) at best. It is also a source of continuous bugs and added 
complexity for new features.
+- The number of transactions that can be pushed through Ratis currently caps 
out around 25k.
+- The Current performance envelope for OM is around 12k transactions per 
second. The early testing with prototype for this feature pushes this to 40k 
transactions per second.
+
+## Execution at leader node needs deal with below cases
+1. Parallel execution: Currently, ratis serialize all the execution in order. 
With this new feature, it is possible to execute the request in parallel which 
are independent.
+2. Optimized locking: Currently, Locks are taken at bucket level for both read 
and write flow. With this new feature, focus to remove lock between read and 
write flow, and have more granular locking.
+3. Cache Optimization: Currently, Cache are maintained for write operation and 
read also make use of same for consistency. This creates complexity for read to 
provide accurate result with parallel operation. With this new feature, its 
planned to remove this Cache.
+4. Double buffer code complexity: Currently, Double buffer provides batching 
for db update. This is done with ratis state machine and induces issues 
managing ratis state machine, cache and db updates. With this new feature, its 
planned to remove Double Buffer.
+5. Request execution flow optimization: With new feature, its planned to 
optimize request execution flow, removing un-necessary operation and improve 
testability.
+6. Performance and resource Optimization: Currently, same execution is 
repeated at all nodes, and have more failure points. With this new feature, its 
going to add parallelism in execution, and will improve performance and 
resource utilization.
+
+### Object ID generation
+Currently, the Object ID is tied to Ratis transaction metadata. This has 
multiple challenges in the long run.
+
+- If OM adopts multi Ratis to scale writes further, Object IDs will not longer 
be unique.
+- If we shard OM, then across OMs the object ID will not be unique.
+- When batching multiple requests, we cannot utilize Ratis metadata to 
generate object IDs.
+
+Longer term, we should move to a UUID based object ID generation. This will 
allow us to generate object IDs that are globally unique. In the mean time, we 
are moving to a persistent counter based object ID generation. The counter is 
persisted during apply transaction and is incremented for each new object 
created.

  | 20k+ (3.3 times)       |
+| 3   | CPU Utilization Leader | 16% (unable to increase load) | 33%

+Client --> OM --> Gatekeeper ---> Executor --> Batching (ratis request) 
--{Ratis sync to all nodes}--> apply transaction {db update}
+
+
+### Gatekeeper
+Gatekeeper act as entry point for request execution. Its function is:
+1. orchestrate the execution flow
+2. granular locking
+3. execution of request
+4. validate om state like upgrade
+5. update metrics and return response
+6. handle client retry / replay of request
+7. managed index generation (remove dependency with ratis index for objectId)
+
+### Executor
+This prepares context for execution, process the request, communicate to all 
nodes for db changes via ratis and clearing up any cache.
+
+### Batching (Ratis request)
+All requests executed in parallel are batched and send as single request to 
other nodes. This helps improve performance over network with batching.
+
+Batching of Request:
+- Request 1..n are executed and db changes are identified and added to queue 
(and request will be waiting for update via ratis over Future waiting)
+- Batcher will retrieve Request 1..n and db changes, merge those request to 
single Ratis Request message
+- Send Merged Request message to all nodes via ratis and receive reply
+- Batcher will reply to each request 1..n with db update success notifying 
future object of each request.
+
+There are multiple batchers waiting over queue,
+- As soon as queue have entry, and the batcher is available, it will pick all 
request from queue for processing
+- batcher will be un-available when its processing the batch, i.e. merge 
request and send to ratis and then waiting for reply
+
+As performance Test result, Number of batcher with "5->8" performed the best. 
+- Higher number of batcher reduces the effective batching, and performance 
reduces
+- Lower number of batcher reduces throughput as more request will be waiting 
for ratis response
+
+### Apply Transaction (via ratis at all nodes)
+With new flow as change,
+- all nodes during ratis apply transaction will just only update the DB for 
changes.

Review Comment:
   Are you referencing HDFS here with in memory inodes and journal nodes?
   
   Synchronizing on DB changes is the way consensus usually works IME. 
Synchronizing on abstract commands like we do currently is very error prone 
because the critical applyTransaction step is unique for each command. If 
in-memory state like caches need to be updated that would be considered part of 
the state machine and updated on applyTransaction as well.
   
   The separation proposed here does make this type of write-through caching 
more difficult because the applyTransaction entries are already serialized. 
This should be called out in the doc and tested as well. Are things like a full 
cache of the bucket table that saves the deserialization step actually helping 
read performance of can we drop them? If they are needed, there would likely 
need to be some sort of caching support added:
   - The 
[module](https://github.com/apache/ozone/pull/7583#discussion_r1911800743) 
would support callbacks to update a cache on applyTransaction in an async 
manner.
   - Caching could be applied at the column family level, similar to what we 
currently have.
   - Cache misses would read through to the DB.
   - Cache update failures would not be fatal since the value is already in the 
DB.
     - This prevents cases like we currently have where failures in 
applyTransaction unique to specific requests crash the OM.
