What is Coherence?


Oracle Coherence

• Development Toolkit• Pure Java 1.4.2+ Libraries• Pure .Net 1.1 and 2.0 (Client Libraries)• No Third-Party Dependencies• No Open Source Dependencies

• Other Libraries for…• Database and File System Integration• Top Link and Hibernate• Http Session Management, Spring, …

Oracle Coherence

• Provides…• Container-less Clustering of Java Processes• Data Structures to manage Data across a Cluster / Grid• Real-Time Event Observation – Listener Pattern• Materialized Views of Data • Parallel Queries and Aggregation – Object-based Queries• Parallel Data Processing• Parallel Grid Processing• RemoteException Free Distributed Computing• Clustered JMX• MAN + WAN Connectivity• Client + Data Grid Deployment Models

Oracle Coherence

• Some uses…• Application Clustering and Reliable Data Sharing• Caching state in the Application-tier• Relieve load on lower-tier systems

• Databases, Mainframes, Web Servers, Web Services

• Scaling out application state (in the application-tier)• In-Memory Http Session Management

• Resilient Processing Engine• Temporary System of Record for Extreme Transaction

Processing

Coherence Demonstration


How Coherence Works


Distributed Data Management (access)


The Partitioned Topology

(one of many)

In-Process DataManagement

Distributed Data Management (update)


Distributed Data Management (failover)


Distributed Data Management

• Members have logical access to all Entries• At most 2 network operations for Access• At most 4 network operations for Update• Regardless of Cluster Size• Deterministic access and update behaviour

(performance can be improved with local caching)

• Predictable Scalability• Cache Capacity Increases with Cluster Size• Coherence Load-Balances Partitions across Cluster• Point-to-Point Communication (peer to peer)• No multicast required (sometimes not allowed)


Data Distribution: Clients and Servers


“Clients” with storage disabled

“Servers” with storage enabled

Near Caching (L1 + L2) Topology


Observing Data Changes


Parallel Queries


Parallel Processing and Aggregation


Data Source Integration (read-through)


Data Source Integration (write-through)


Data Source Integration (write-behind)


Coherence Code Examples


Cluster cluster = CacheFactory.ensureCluster();Cluster cluster = CacheFactory.ensureCluster();

Clustering Java Processes

• Joins an existing cluster or forms a new cluster

• Time “to join” configurable

• cluster contains information about the Cluster

• Cluster Name

• Members

• Locations

• Processes

• No “master” servers

• No “server registries”


Leaving a Cluster

• Leaves the current cluster

• shutdown blocks until “data” is safe

• Failing to call shutdown results in Coherence having to detect process death/exit and recover information from another process.

• Death detection and recovery is automatic


CacheFactory.shutdown();CacheFactory.shutdown();

Using a Cacheget, put, size & remove

• CacheFactory resolves cache names (ie: “mine”) to configured NamedCaches

• NamedCache provides data topology agnostic access to information

• NamedCache interfaces implement several interfaces;

• java.util.Map, Jcache,ObservableMap*, ConcurrentMap*, QueryMap*, InvocableMap*


NamedCache nc = CacheFactory.getCache(“mine”);

Object previous = nc.put(“key”, “hello world”);

Object current = nc.get(“key”);

int size = nc.size();

Object value = nc.remove(“key”);


Object previous = nc.put(“key”, “hello world”);

Object current = nc.get(“key”);

int size = nc.size();

Object value = nc.remove(“key”);

Coherence* Extensions

Using a CachekeySet, entrySet, containsKey

• Using a NamedCache is like using a java.util.Map

• What is the difference between a Map and a Cache data-structure?

• Both use (key,value) pairs for entries

• Map entries don’t expire

• Cache entries may expire

• Maps are typically limited by heap space

• Caches are typically size limited (by number of entries or memory)

• Map content is typically in-process (on heap)



Set keys = nc.keySet();

Set entries = nc.entrySet();

boolean exists = nc.containsKey(“key”);


Set keys = nc.keySet();

Set entries = nc.entrySet();

boolean exists = nc.containsKey(“key”);

Observing Cache ChangesObservableMap

• Observe changes in real-time as they occur in a NamedCache

• Options exist to optimize events by using Filters, (including pre and post condition checking) and reducing on-the-wire payload (Lite Events)

• Several MapListeners are provided out-of-the-box.

• Abstract, Multiplexing...


NamedCache nc = CacheFactory.getCache(“stocks”);

nc.addMapListener(new MapListener() {

public void onInsert(MapEvent mapEvent) {

}

public void onUpdate(MapEvent mapEvent) {

}

public void onDelete(MapEvent mapEvent) {

}

});


nc.addMapListener(new MapListener() {

public void onInsert(MapEvent mapEvent) {

}

public void onUpdate(MapEvent mapEvent) {

}

public void onDelete(MapEvent mapEvent) {

}

});

Querying CachesQueryMap

• Query NamedCache keys and entries across a cluster (Data Grid) in parallel* using Filters

• Results may be ordered using natural ordering or custom comparators

• Filters provide support almost all SQL constructs

• Query using non-relational data representations and models

• Create your own Filters

* Requires Enterprise Edition or above


NamedCache nc = CacheFactory.getCache(“people”);

Set keys = nc.keySet( new LikeFilter(“getLastName”, “%Stone%”));

Set entries = nc.entrySet( new EqualsFilter(“getAge”,

35));

NamedCache nc = CacheFactory.getCache(“people”);

Set keys = nc.keySet( new LikeFilter(“getLastName”, “%Stone%”));

Set entries = nc.entrySet( new EqualsFilter(“getAge”,

35));

Continuous ObservationContinuous Query Caches

• ContinuousQueryCache provides real-time and in-process copy of filtered cached data

• Use standard or your own custom Filters to limit view

• Access to “view”of cached information is instant

• May use with MapListeners to support rendering real-time local views (aka: Think Client) of Data Grid information.



NamedCache expensiveItems = new ContinuousQueryCache(nc, new GreaterThan(“getPrice”, 1000));


NamedCache expensiveItems = new ContinuousQueryCache(nc, new GreaterThan(“getPrice”, 1000));

Aggregating InformationInvocableMap

• Aggregate values in a NamedCache across a cluster (Data Grid) in parallel* using Filters

• Aggregation constructs include; Distinct, Sum, Min, Max, Average, Having, Group By

• Aggregate using non-relational data models

• Create your own aggregators




Double total = (Double)nc.aggregate( AlwaysFilter.INSTANCE, new DoubleSum(“getQuantity”));

Set symbols = (Set)nc.aggregate( new EqualsFilter(“getOwner”, “Larry”), new DistinctValue(“getSymbol”));


Double total = (Double)nc.aggregate( AlwaysFilter.INSTANCE, new DoubleSum(“getQuantity”));

Set symbols = (Set)nc.aggregate( new EqualsFilter(“getOwner”, “Larry”), new DistinctValue(“getSymbol”));

Mutating InformationInvocableMap

• Invoke EntryProcessors on zero or more entries in a NamedCache across a cluster (Data Grid) in parallel* (using Filters) to perform operations

• Execution occurs where the entries are managed in the cluster, not in the thread calling invoke

• This permits Data + Processing Affinity




nc.invokeAll( new EqualsFilter(“getSymbol”, “ORCL”), new StockSplitProcessor());

...

class StockSplitProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {

Object process(Entry entry) { Stock stock = (Stock)entry.getValue(); stock.quantity *= 2; entry.setValue(stock); return null; }

}


nc.invokeAll( new EqualsFilter(“getSymbol”, “ORCL”), new StockSplitProcessor());

...

class StockSplitProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {

Object process(Entry entry) { Stock stock = (Stock)entry.getValue(); stock.quantity *= 2; entry.setValue(stock); return null; }

}
