We currently have a semaphore in the column family level that protects us against multiple concurrent sstable flushes. However, storing that semaphore into the CF, not the database, was a (implementation, not design) mistake. One comment in particular makes it quite clear: // Ideally, we'd allow one memtable flush per shard (or per database object), and write-behind // would take care of the rest. But that still has issues, so we'll limit parallelism to some // number (4), that we will hopefully reduce to 1 when write behind works. So I aimed for the shard, but ended up coding it into the CF because that's closer to the flush point - my bad. This patch fixes this while paving the way for active reclaim to take place. It wraps the semaphore and the region group in a new structure, the dirty_memory_manager. The immediate benefit is that we don't need to be passing both the semaphore and the region group downwards in the DB -> CF path. The long term benefit is that we now have a one unified structure that can hold shared flush data in all of the CFs. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glauber@scylladb.com>

Building Scylla
In addition to required packages by Seastar, the following packages are required by Scylla.
Submodules
Scylla uses submodules, so make sure you pull the submodules first by doing:
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
Building and Running Scylla on Fedora
- Installing required packages:
sudo yum install yaml-cpp-devel lz4-devel zlib-devel snappy-devel jsoncpp-devel thrift-devel antlr3-tool antlr3-C++-devel libasan libubsan gcc-c++ gnutls-devel ninja-build ragel libaio-devel cryptopp-devel xfsprogs-devel numactl-devel hwloc-devel libpciaccess-devel libxml2-devel python3-pyparsing lksctp-tools-devel
- Build Scylla
./configure.py --mode=release --with=scylla --disable-xen
ninja-build build/release/scylla -j2 # you can use more cpus if you have tons of RAM
- Run Scylla
./build/release/scylla
- run Scylla with one CPU and ./tmp as data directory
./build/release/scylla --datadir tmp --commitlog-directory tmp --smp 1
- For more run options:
./build/release/scylla --help
Building Fedora RPM
As a pre-requisite, you need to install Mock on your machine:
# Install mock:
sudo yum install mock
# Add user to the "mock" group:
usermod -a -G mock $USER && newgrp mock
Then, to build an RPM, run:
./dist/redhat/build_rpm.sh
The built RPM is stored in /var/lib/mock/<configuration>/result directory.
For example, on Fedora 21 mock reports the following:
INFO: Done(scylla-server-0.00-1.fc21.src.rpm) Config(default) 20 minutes 7 seconds
INFO: Results and/or logs in: /var/lib/mock/fedora-21-x86_64/result
Building Fedora-based Docker image
Build a Docker image with:
cd dist/docker
docker build -t <image-name> .
Run the image with:
docker run -p $(hostname -i):9042:9042 -i -t <image name>
