RLS and DRS Roadmap Items Ann Chervenak Robert Schuler USC Information Sciences Institute
Replication Services • Replica Location Service (RLS) • Maintains mappings between logical file names and physical locations • Associates attributes with mappings • Data Replication Service (DRS) • Combines RLS cataloguing with data replication operations performed by Reliable File Transfer Service (RFT)
RLS Roadmap:Pluggable RLS Backend • Current RLS backend is some type of relational database • Good performance and scalability • Want to be able to support a backend mechanism for storing name mappings that is optimized to provide higher performance • Requestor: LIGO • Pluggable backend to allow use of a specialized hashing technique
RLS Roadmap (Requested):Improved Support for Bulk Renames • SCEC project adding and updating hundreds of thousands of entries • Would like better support for bulk modification command • E.g., regular expression-based replacement of filename prefixes
DRS Roadmap: Requirements analysis and improvements to DRS in support of LIGO • Design of DRS is based on LIGO's Lightweight Data Replicator service • Explore requirements for integrating DRS into the next generation of LIGO data architecture • Identify and implement enhancements to DRS to support the requirements of high-performance data Grids
DRS Roadmap: Replica Validation Capability • Design and implement replica validation and consistency checking • Requested by LIGO and others • Current DRS supports on-demand replication of data files between sites • Once data has been replicated, there is no guarantee that replica consistency will be maintained • Users need the ability to validate replicated data files and identify files that do not meet a specified equivalence criterion
