/**
@mainpage Introduction to Stasis
Stasis is a flexible transactional storage library. Unlike
existing systems, it provides application and server developers
with much freedom, but little guidance regarding page file layouts,
data models, and concurrency schemes. This often means that Stasis
can outperform general purpose storage solutions by orders of
magnitude, but it does require more effort on the part of its end
users. We are in the process of implementing a library of commonly
used, general-purpose transactional data structures on top of
Stasis.
@section The Stasis data model
Stasis does not really have a data model. While designing and
implementing Stasis, we focused on providing end users with
mechanisms, not policy. As much as possible, we have
avoiding hardcoding application-specific implmentation details such
as data formats and concurrency models. Instead, Stasis provides a
number of reusable lower-level mechanisms that make it easy for
applications to implement custom transactional storage systems.
At the lowest level, Stasis provides transactional pages;
the buffer manager manages a set of pages and regions on disk, and
coordinates with the log and other Stasis mechanisms to provide
recovery and concurrent transactions. On top of this low level
API, we have developed record oriented interfaces that facilitate
development and interchangability of new page formats. Conformance
to these APIs is recommended, but not required. Stasis records are
simply arrays of bytes (not tuples). A Stasis recordid is simply a
record that contains a pointer to another record.
Stasis's @ref OPERATIONS provide a set of methods that manipulate
records in a transactional, durable fashion. They are implemented
on top of the record (and sometimes page) API's, and range from low
level access methods like record reads and writes to higher level
data structure implementations, such as hash tables and log-oriented
tree indexes. Stasis' library of operations makes use of a number of
different @ref LOGGING_DISCIPLINES. Most new operations will want to
choose one of these disciplines, as many subtlties arise during the
development of new concurrent, high-performance recovery
algorithms.

@page gettingStarted Getting Started
@section compiling Compiling and installation
Prerequisites:
- cmake (though old automake 1.8+ based builds still work)
Optional:
- libconfuse: Used by older networking code to parse configuration options.
- BerkeleyDB: Used by the benchmarking code for purposes of comparison.
- Perl 5.10 with Inline.pm: Stasis includes threadsafe perl bindings. "perldoc lang/perl/Stasis.pm" for more information.
- Partial Java JNI bindings exist as well; contact me if you are interested.
Development is currently performed under Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4/5.
To compile Stasis, first check out a copy with SVN. If you have commit access:
@verbatim
svn co --username username https://stasis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk stasis
@endverbatim
For anonymous checkout:
@verbatim
svn co http://stasis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk stasis
@endverbatim
then:
@code
cd stasis
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j 4
cd test/stasis
make test
@endcode
@section compilingDeprecated Compiling with autotools
Stasis' automake files are deprecated, but are still supported:
@code
$ ./reconf
$ ./configure --quiet
$ make -j4 > /dev/null
$ cd test/stasis
$ make check
@endcode
This will fail if your system defaults to an old (pre-1.7) version
of autotools. Fortunately, multiple versions of autotools may
exist on the same system. Execute the following commands to
compile with version 1.8 (or 1.9) of autotools:
@code
$ ./reconf-1.8 # or ./reconf-1.9
$ ./configure --quiet
$ make -j4 > /dev/null
$ cd test/stasis
$ make check
@endcode
Of course, you can omit "--quiet" and "> /dev/null", but configure
and make both produce quite a bit of output that may obscure useful
warning messages.
'make install' installs the Stasis library and python SWIG
bindings (that haven't been tested recently), but none of the extra programs that come with Stasis.
utilities/ contains a number of utility programs that are useful
for debugging Stasis. The examples/ directory contains a number of
simple C examples.
@section usage Using Stasis in your software
Synopsis (examples/ex1.c):
@include examples/ex1.c
Hopefully, Tbegin(), Talloc(), Tset(), Tcommit(), Tabort() and Tdealloc() are
self explanatory. If not, they are covered in detail elsewhere. Tinit() and
Tdeinit() initialize the library, and clean up when the program is finished.
Other particularly useful functions are ThashCreate(), ThashDelete(),
ThashInsert(), ThashRemove(), and ThashLookup() which provide a
re-entrant linear hash implementation. ThashIterator() and
ThashNext() provide an iterator over the hashtable's values.
@subsection bootstrap Reopening a closed data store
Stasis imposes as little structure upon the application's data structures as
possible. Therefore, it does not maintain any information about the contents
or naming of objects within the page file. This means that the application
must maintain such information manually.
In order to facilitate this, Stasis provides the function
TrecordType() and guarantees that the first recordid returned by
any allocation will point to the same page and slot as the constant
ROOT_RECORD. TrecordType() will return UNINITIALIZED_RECORD if the
record passed to it does not exist. A second function,
TrecordSize() returns the size of a record in bytes, or -1 if the
record does not exist.
Therefore, the following code (found in examples/ex2.c) will safely
initialize or reopen a data store:
@include examples/ex2.c
@todo Explain how to determine the correct value of rootEntry.size in the case
of a hashtable.
@see OPERATIONS for other transactional primitives that may be
useful for your software.
@subsection consistency Using Stasis in multithreaded applications
Unless otherwise noted, Stasis' operations are re-entrant. This
means that an application may call them concurrently without
corrupting Stasis' internal data structures. However, if two
threads attempt to write the same data value simultaneously, the
result is undefined.
In database terms, Stasis uses latches to protect its own data
structures' consistency (including those on disk), but does not
obtain short term read or write locks to protect data as it is
being written. This is less consistency than SQL's Level 0 (Dirty
Reads) provides. Some of Stasis' data structures do obtain short
read and write locks automatically. Refer to individual data
structures for more information.
Stasis' allocation functions, such as Talloc(), do not reuse space
that was freed by an ongoing transaction. This means that you may
safely overwrite freshly allocated space without writing undo
entries, and allows concurrent transactions to safely allocate
space.
From the point of view of conventional multithreaded software
development, Stasis closely matches the semantics provided by
typical operating system thread implementations. However, it
allows transactions to abort and rollback independently of each
other. This means that transactions may observe the effects of
transactions that will eventually abort.
Finally, Stasis assumes that each thread has its own transaction;
concurrent calls within the same transaction are not supported.
This restriction may be removed in the future.
@section moreInformation More information
This dissertation
contains more information about Stasis' architecture.
@section selfTest The test suite
Stasis includes an extensive unit test suite which may be invoked
by running 'make check' in Stasis' root directory. Some of the
tests are for older, unmaintained code that was built on top of
Stasis. Running 'make check' in test/stasis runs all of the Stasis
tests without running the obsolete tests.
@section architecture Stasis' structure
This section is geared toward people that would like to extend
Stasis. The OSDI paper provides a higher level description and
motivation for the architecture. This section describes naming
conventions used to distinguish between different portions of
Stasis, and provides an overview of memory management and mutex
acquisition conventions.
This section does not describe recovery, transaction initiation,
etc. Those methods change less frequently. Instead of focusing on
them, this text focuses on the issues faced by transactional data
structures.
Stasis components can be classified as follows:
- I/O utilities (file handles, OS compatibility wrappers)
- Log interfaces (logger/logger2.c logger/logEntry.c logger/logHandle.c) and implementations (logger/logWriter.c logger/inMemoryLog.c)
- Buffer management
- Recovery
- Page formats and associated operations (page/slotted.c page/fixed.c)
- Application visible methods (Talloc, Tset, ThashInsert, etc)
@subsection layoutNaming Directory layout
The Stasis repository contains the following "interesting" directories:
@par $STASIS/stasis/
Contains the header directory structure.
In theory, this contains all of the .h files that need to be
installed for a fully functional Stasis development environment.
In practice, .h files in src/ are also needed in some cases. The
separation of .h files between src/ and stasis/ continues for
various obscure reasons, including CVS's lack of a "move" command.
For now, .h files should be placed with similar .h files, or in
stasis/ if no such files exist.
The directory structure of stasis/ mirrors that of src/
@par $STASIS/src/
Contains the .c files
@par $STASIS/src/stasis
Contains Stasis and the implementations of its standard modules.
The subdirectories group files by the type of module they
implement.
@note By convention, when the rest of this document says
foo/, it is referring to two directories:
stasis/foo/ and src/stasis/foo/. Unless it's clear
from context, a file without an explicit directory name is in
stasis/ or src/stasis/. In order to refer to files
and directories outside of these two locations, but still in the
repository, this document will use the notation
$STASIS/dir.
@note This is done for brevity, and to avoid coupling documentation
to the (deprecated) placement of .h files under src/.
@note Example: The transactional data structure
implementations in operations/ can be found in
$STASIS/src/stasis/operations/ and
$STASIS/stasis/operations/.
@subsection Modules
Stasis is implemented in C, but is structured in a somewhat object
oriented style. There are a number of different "modules", for
lack of a better term. Each implementation in the module lives in
the module's subdirectory. Code that is common to many
implementation, and headers that define per-module functions live
in files named after the module.
Example: The io module contains the following files:
@code
io.h
io.c
io/handle.h
io/debug.c
io/file.c
io/memory.c
io/non_blocking.c
io/rangeTracker.h
io/rangeTracker.c
@endcode
In this case, rangeTracker.c and io.c are the only files containing
more than one non-static method, so they are the only ones that
have corresponding .h files. rangeTracker.c is implementing a data
structure that is being used by the other files. debug.c, file.c,
memory.c and non_blocking.c each implements a different type of
handle.
Some modules are simply groups of files that perform similar tasks,
or make use of the same set of interfaces (eg: page/ and
operations/). Files in these directories may make use of the same
utility functions, but aren't implementing the same interface.
Other modules provide multiple implementations of the same
interface (eg: io/ and logger/). C doesn't have
inheritance, so Stasis "fakes it" using one of two methods. In
both cases, a struct is defined to contain a void pointer, which
the implementation manually casts to the appropriate type:
@par Dispatch functions
The dispatch functions contain a switch statement or conditional
that decides which implementation to call. Calling convention:
@code bird_carry(african_swallow, coconut); @endcode
@par struct of function pointers
These functions use the following calling convention:
@code african_swallow->carry(african_swallow,coconut) @endcode
@subsection ioutil I/O utilities
The I/O utilities live in io/. They provide reentrant
interfaces. This was written to insulate Stasis from Linux's
ever-evolving I/O system calls, for portability, and to allow (for
example) in-memory operation.
@subsection walin WAL Modules
None of these modules understand page formats; at this level
everything is either
- a page with an LSN (a version number),or
- a log entry with an associated operation (redo / undo
functions).
Interesting files in this part of Stasis include logger2.c,
bufferManager.c, and recovery2.c.
@subsection page Custom page formats
Stasis provides a default @ref PAGE_RECORD_INTERFACE to custom page
implementations. Methods that define their own log disciplines, or
otherwise need to bypass Stasis' default recovery mechanisms should
call into this API.
By defining these methods and registering appropriate callbacks,
page implementations allow callers to access their data through
standard Stasis methods such as Tread() and Tset(). This module
also includes a set of utility methods to simplify the pointer
arithmetic associated with manipulating the buffer manager's copy
of pages.
@par A note on storage allocation
Stasis currently provides a few different mechanisms that allocate
entire pages and page ranges at once. There are examples of three
approaches in the current code base:
- Implement a full-featured, general purpose allocator, like the
one in alloc.h. This is more difficult than it sounds.
- Allocate entire regions at a time, and manually initialize pages
within them. arrayList.h does this. This is the most flexible
and efficient approach, but requires extra management code if
region allocation is not a natural approach.
- Allocate a single page at a time using TallocPage(), then call
page initialization methods on each page. Currently,
TallocPage() is poorly implemented and wastes one page for every
page it allocates.
Note that before you initialize a new page you need to call
stasis_page_cleanup() to notify the page's old format that it should
free resources associated with the old version of the page.
Stasis' allocation routines guarantee that the pages they return
were freed by committed transactions (and therefore, that their
contents can be discarded). Therefore, you do not need to log the
preimage of pages returned by the allocator.
@todo Should we change the API so that allocation routines (TpageAlloc(), TregionAlloc()) call stasis_page_cleanup() on behalf of their callers?
@todo Optimize page, region allocation to call page initializers automatically during forward operation and redo?
@see page.h, fixed.h, and slotted.h for more information on the
page API's, and the implementations of two common page formats.
@subsection appfunc Application visible methods
These methods start with "T". Look at the examples above. These
are the "wrapper functions" from the OSDI paper. They are
supported by @ref OPERATIONS.
@section extending Implementing you own operations

*
* @section SNF STEAL/NO-FORCE recovery
* Stasis includes a function, Tupdate(), that
* provides traditional STEAL/NO-FORCE logging for recovery. The
* STEAL/NO-FORCE strategy allows dirty, uncommitted pages to be
* written back to disk (STEAL), which prevents long running
* transactions from exhausting RAM. It does not force write pages to
* disk at commit (NO-FORCE), and instead only forces the log. This
* prevents the hard drive head from performing unnecessary seeks
* during commit. Recovery works by "repeating history"; all actions
* are redone up to some point in time after the last successful
* transaction committed, but before the crash. Conceptually, any
* partially committed transactions are then rolled back using
* Tabort(), as they would be during normal operation. For more
* information about STEAL/NO-FORCE recovery strategies, see the ARIES
* paper (XXX cite Aries properly)
*
*
* @section SF STEAL/FORCE and bulk-logged recovery
*
* Stasis supports other logging disciplines as well. In particular,
* the buffer manager allows REGIONS (XXX document region allocator)
* to be synchronously written to disk, allowing operations to make
* use of a STEAL/FORCE recovery strategy. This is attractive when a
* transaction is writing a large, contiguous region of disk, as
* STEAL/FORCE operations do not write redo information to the log.
* If the STEAL/FORCE transaction is overwriting newly allocated
* pages, it can also avoid writing undo information to the log, as
* the newly allocated pages do not contain useful data. This allows
* large objects to be written with no tangible logging overhead, and
* has been implemented by a number of commercial systems. It is used
* by the Stasis' Rose indexes. (XXX cite LSM trees, etc.)
*
* @section LSNFREE LSN-Free pages
*
* Stasis' third (and most exotic) logging strategy makes use of
* LSN-free pages. By constraining the behavior of redo and undo log
* entries, we can entirely avoid storing Stasis metadata on pages.
* This logging discipline is under development.
