CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Outline Motivation Data Replication Service (DRS) Components for DRS –RLS, GridFTP, RFT DRS Deployment DRS setup on GEON Next Steps
3
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Motivation Science domains spend considerable effort collecting and managing large amounts of data Science domains develop customized data management services that vary with the type of application Common data management requirements –Publish and replicate large datasets –Register data replicas in catalogs and discover them –Perform metadata-based discovery of datasets –May require ability to validate correctness of replicas
4
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Motivation (cont.) These systems demand considerable resources to design, implement & maintain –Typically cannot be re-used by other applications Need for a long-term solution –Generalize functionality provided by these data management systems –Provide suite of application-independent services Design and build on lower-level grid services –Globus Reliable File Transfer (RFT) service –Replica Location Service (RLS) –GridFTP
5
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org A possible solution: Data Replication System (DRS) Higher level data management service based on low level data management components like RLS and RFT The primary functionality is to –Allow users to identify a set of desired files existing in their grid environment –Make local replicas of those data files by transferring files from one or more source locations –Register the new replicas in a Replica Location Service
6
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Replica Location Service (RLS) A simple registry that keeps track of where replicas exist on physical storage systems. Users or services register files in RLS when the files are created. Query RLS servers to find these replicas. RLS can be a distributed registry, consisting of multiple servers at different sites. Distributed RLS increases the overall scale and store more mappings than would be possible in a single, centralized catalog.
7
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org RLS (cont.) A logical file name is a unique identifier for the contents of a file. A physical file name is the location of a copy of the file on a storage system. RLS maintains mappings between logical file names and one or more physical file names of replicas. Users can provide a logical file name to an RLS server and ask for all the registered physical file names of replicas. Users can also query an RLS server to find the logical file name associated with a particular physical file location. XYZ replica 1 XYZ replica 2XYZ replica 3 Logical File Name XYZ Site 1 Site 2 Site 3
8
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org RLS (cont.) Two servers: LRI, LRC LRC stores mappings between logical names for data items and the physical locations of replicas. Query the LRC to discover replicas associated with a logical name. RLI server collects information about the logical name mappings stored in one or more LRCs. RLI returns a list of all the LRCs it is aware of that contain mappings for the logical name contained in a query. The client then queries these LRCs to find the physical locations of replicas. RLI LRC Local Replica Catalogs (LRC) Replica Location Index (RLI) Nodes

CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org RLS in Context The RLS is one component in a layered data management architecture Consistency management provided by higher- level services Replica Consistency Management Services Replica Location Service Reliable Data Transfer Service GridFTP Metadata Service Reliable Replication Service
10
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org GridFTP The GridFTP protocol provides for the secure, robust, fast and efficient transfer of (especially bulk) data. Globus Toolkit provides the most commonly used implementation of the protocol, though others exist. The Globus Toolkit provides –server implementation called globus-gridftp-server –scriptable command line client called globus-url- copy –a set of development libraries for custom clients
11
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Reliable File Transfer (RFT) A WSRF compliant web service that provides “job scheduler” like functionality for data movement. You provide a list of source and destination URLs (including directories or files), then the service writes your job description into a database and moves the files on your behalf.
12
CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org RFT (cont.) Accepts SOAP description of a desired transfer Service methods are provided for querying the transfer status WSRF tools to subscribe for notifications of state change events Supports all the same options as globus-url- copy (buffer size, etc) Increased reliability because state is stored in a database Supports concurrency, multiple files transferred for better performance
