ODS is Facebook’s internal monitoring system, which collects a variety of system and application level metrics from every server for real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, alerting and analysis.
In this talk, we’ll start by giving an overview of ODS, and go over the manageability and scalability challenges with the previous MySQL based setup. We will then discuss our motivation to choose HBase for this workload, and share a series of lessons learnt from building ODS on top of HBase, including takeaways from our attempts to scale the HBase cluster separately from the HDFS cluster, a dual-HBase architecture for high availability, migration data from MySQL to HBase, running MapReduce jobs for time-based rollup of metrics.
