�The Power of a Hybrid Solution

�Value: Open Source vs Enterprise Class

5

Informix 12.1

� Not Only SQL or NOt allowing SQL

� A non-relational database management systems– Does not require a fixed schema– Avoids join operations– Scales horizontally– No ACID (eventually consistent)

� Good with distributing data and fast application development

What is a NoSQL Database?


Provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data while providing horizontal scaling.

Informix 12.1

Why NoSQL?

� Non-traditional data management requirements driven by Web 2.0 companies

– Document stores, key-value stores, graph and columnar dbms

� The Three Vs:– Velocity – high frequency of data arrivals


– Velocity – high frequency of data arrivals– Volume – BigData– Variability – unstructured data, flexibility in

schema design

� New data interchange formats – like JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and BSON (Binary JSON)

� Scale-out requirements across heterogeneous environment – Cloud computing

7

Informix 12.1

� JSON Syntax Rules

– JSON syntax is a subset of the JavaScript object notation syntax:– Data is in name/value pairs– Data is separated by commas– Curly braces hold objects– Square brackets hold arrays

� JSON Name/Value Pairs– JSON data is written as key/value pairs.– A key/value pair consists of a field name (in double quotes), followed by a colon, followed

JSON Details


– A key/value pair consists of a field name (in double quotes), followed by a colon, followed by a value:

� JSON Values can be– A number (integer or floating point)– A string (in double quotes)– A Boolean (true or false)– An array (in square brackets)– An object (in curly brackets)– Null

JSON: JavaScript Object Notation

� What is JSON?– JSON is lightweight text-data interchange format– JSON is language independent– JSON is "self-describing" and easy to understand

� JSON is syntax for storing and exchanging text information much like XML. However, JSON is smaller than XML, and faster and easier to parse.

"employees": [{ "f_name":"John" , "l_name":"Doe" }, { "f_name":"Anna","m_name" : "Marie","l_name":"Smith" }, { "f_name":"Peter" , "l_name":"Jones" }

BSON is a binary form of JSON.

Informix 12.1IBM Use Case Characteristics for JSON

� Schema flexibility and development agility– Application not constrained by fixed pre-defined schema– Ability to handle a mix of structured and unstructured data

� Consistent low latency, even under high loads– Ability to handle thousands of users– Typically millisecond response time

� Continuous availability– 24x7x365 availability– Online maintenance operations


– Ability to upgrade hardware or software without down time

� Dynamic Elasticity– Rapid horizontal scalability– Ability to add or delete nodes dynamically in the Cloud/Grid– Application transparent elasticity

� Low cost infrastructure– Commonly available hardware (Windows & Linux,…)

� Reduced need for database administration and maintenance

Informix 12.1

Why Most Commercial Relational Databases cannot meet these Requirements

� Schema Flexibility & Development Agility– Relational schemas are inherently rigid– Database design needs to be done before application is developed– Different rows cannot have a different structures– Data modeling based on domain objects, which may not be well understood upfront

� Consistent Low Latency, even under high load– ACID requirements inherently introduce write latency– There is no latency-consistency tradeoff knobs available


– Requirement can be met, but at a much higher cost (hardware, software or complexity)

� High Availability– Requirement can be met, but at a significant cost– Typically rolling version upgrades are complex in clustered RDBMS

� Dynamic Elasticity– Not a natural fit for RDBMS, due to requirement for strong consistency– Scale-out requires partition tolerance, that increases latency

� Low Cost– Distributed RDBMS typically require specialized hardware to achieve performance– Popular relational databases typically require several DBAs for maintenance and tuning


Informix 12.1

Some Typical NoSQL Use Cases - Mostly Interactive Web/Mobile

� Online/Mobile Gaming– Leaderboard (high score table) management– Dynamic placement of visual elements– Game object management– Persisting game/user state information– Persisting user generated data (e.g.

drawings)

� Display Advertising on Web Sites– Ad Serving: match content with profile and

� E-commerce/Social Commerce– Storing frequently changing product

catalogs

� Social Networking/Online Communities

� Communications– Device provisioning


– Ad Serving: match content with profile and present

– Real-time bidding: match cookie profile with ad inventory, obtain bids, and present ad

� Dynamic Content Management and Publishing (News & Media)

– Store content from distributed authors, with fast retrieval and placement

– Manage changing layouts and user generated content

13

– Device provisioning

� Logging/message passing– Drop Copy service in Financial

Services (streaming copies of trade execution messages into (for example) a risk or back office system)

Informix 12.1

High Level Solution

� Include JSON and BSON

� Provide a mongo compatible programming

� Super scale out– Simplify the ability to scale out to multiple nodes, multiple versions, multiple copies– Provided diskless and disk based scale out at the individual node with automatic failover– Provided Sharded Insert, Update, Delete and Query operations

Provide native JSON & BSON support in the Informix Database Server


– Provided Sharded Insert, Update, Delete and Query operations

� Simplify the “up and running” experience

� Added value– Blended/Hybrid workloads– Join between NoSQL and Relational tables– Joins utilize indexes on both Relational and NoSQL– Industrial strength query optimizer– Enterprise Security and encryption

14

Informix 12.1

New NoSQL/JSON Features in Informix

� Two new built in “first-class” data types called JSON and BSON

� Support for MongoDB client side APIs

� Sharded operations enable horizontal scaling

Provide native JSON & BSON support in the Informix Database Server


� Sharded operations enable horizontal scaling

� Adaptive default system initialization

15

Informix 12.1

Two New Data Types JSON and BSON

� JSON and BSON data types

� Index support for NoSQL data types

� Native operators and comparator functions allow for direct manipulation of the BSON data type


� Database Server automatically converts to and from• JSON �� BSON• Character data �� JSON

16

Informix 12.1

MongoDB Application Compatibly

� Ability to use any of the MongodB client drivers and frameworks against the Informix Database Server

– Little to no change required when running MongoDB programs– Informix listens on the same default port as mongo, no need to change.

� Leverage the different programming languages available– Language examples C, C#, Erlang, JAVA, node.js, Perl, Python, Ruby


Mongo Action Description

db.customer.insert( { name: “John", age: 21 } ) Insert into database “db” the customer collection the associated document.

db.customer.find( {age: { $gt:21 } } ) Retrieve from database “db” the customer collection all documents with the age greater than 21.

Scaling Out – Sharding Data

Shard Keystate= “WA”

Shard Keystate= “CA” • Each node in the environment

hold a portion of the data

• Shard by either hash or expression

• When inserting data it is automatically moved to the correct node


Shard Keystate= “OR”

correct node

• Queries automatically aggregate data from the required node(s)

Informix 12.1

Simplify the “up and running” Experience

� Install and setup a typical database instance with only 3 questions:– Where to place the Product?– Where to place the Data?– How many users do you anticipate?

� Newly installed instance adapts to the resources on the computer

Informix 12.1

Informix NoSQL NewSQL – The Hybrid Solution Best of Both Worlds

� Relational and non-relational data in one system

� NoSQL/MongoDB Apps can access Informix Relational Tables

� Distributed Queries

� Multi-statement Transactions

� Enterprise Proven Reliability


� Enterprise Proven Reliability

� Enterprise Ready Security

� Enterprise Level Performance

Informix provides the capability to leverage

the abilities of both relational DBMS and document store systems.

MongoDB does not. It is a document store system lacking key abilities like transaction durability.

23

Informix 12.1

Round Peg Square Hole

The DBA and/or programmer no longer have to decide upfront if it is better to use a system entirely of JSON documents or a system only of SQL tables, but rather have a single database in which the programmer decides a if JSON document is optimal or a SQL table

is optimal for the data and usage.


Informix 12.1

Informix Specific Advantages with Mongo Drivers

� Traditional SQL tables and JSON collections co-existing in the same database

� Using the MongoDB client drivers Query, insert, update, delete–JSON collections–Traditional SQL tables–Timeseries data


� Join SQL tables to JSON collections utilizing indexes

� Execute business logic in stored procedures

� Provide a view of JSON collections as a SQL table–Allows existing SQL tools to access JSON data

� Enterprises level functionality

25

Informix 12.1

Scalability

� Better performance on multi-core, multi-session scenarios–Architecture has finer grain locking – not entire database–Better concurrency because less resources locked

� Document Compression –60% to 90% observed


� Bigger documents – 2GB maximum size–MongoDB caps at 16MB

� Informix has decades of optimization on single node solution
