If you’re involved in large Hadoop projects, this book shows you how ZooKeeper simplifies the task of implementing a distributed system. Implementing coordination tasks with ZooKeeper is not entirely trivial. There are still subtle points and caveats to watch out for. With this book, ZooKeeper contributors Flavio Junqueira and Benjamin Reed provide good practices for building systems with this Apache software tool.

This book also:

• Introduces a master-worker architecture as a running example
• Includes examples of coordination primitives in the master-worker architecture, in addition to examples of real systems with those requirements
• Presents information on handling events and changes in the system, specifically dealing with disconnected events and session expirations
• Shows you how to download and install a Zookeeper release, including how to choose a cluster configuration

Summary

Redis in Action introduces Redis and walks you through examples that demonstrate how to use it effectively. You'll begin by getting Redis set up properly and then exploring the key-value model. Then, you'll dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more. You'll learn how to scale Redis from small jobs to massive datasets. Experienced developers will appreciate chapters on clustering and internal scripting to make Redis easier to use.

About the Technology

When you need near-real-time access to a fast-moving data stream, key-value stores like Redis are the way to go. Redis expands on the key-value pattern by accepting a wide variety of data types, including hashes, strings, lists, and other structures. It provides lightning-fast operations on in-memory datasets, and also makes it easy to persist to disk on the fly. Plus, it's free and open source.

About this book

Redis in Action introduces Redis and the key-value model. You'll quickly dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more. You'll learn how to scale Redis from small jobs to massive datasets and discover how to integrate with traditional RDBMS or other NoSQL stores. Experienced developers will appreciate the in-depth chapters on clustering and internal scripting.

Written for developers familiar with database concepts. No prior exposure to NoSQL database concepts nor to Redis itself is required. Appropriate for systems administrators comfortable with programming.

What's Inside

• Redis from the ground up
• Preprocessing real-time data
• Managing in-memory datasets
• Pub/sub and configuration
• Persisting to disk

About the Author

Dr. Josiah L. Carlson is a seasoned database professional and an active contributor to the Redis community.
