What is the persistence mechanism of Redis? Their advantages and disadvantages?


 Redis provides two persistence mechanisms, RDB and AOF mechanisms:

1. RDBRedis DataBase) persistence mode:

Refers to the semi-persistent mode of using a snapshot of the data set) to record all the key-value pairs of the redis database, and write the data to a temporary file at a certain point in time. After the end of the persistence, replace the last persistent file with this temporary file File to achieve data recovery.

advantage:

(1) There is only one file dump.rdb, which is convenient for persistence.

(2) Good disaster tolerance, a file can be saved to a safe disk.

(3) To maximize performance, fork the child process to complete the write operation and let the main process continue to process commands, so IO is maximized. Use a separate child process for persistence, the main process will not perform any IO operations, ensuring the high performance of redis)

(4) When the data set is large, the startup efficiency is higher than that of AOF.

shortcoming:

Data security is low. RDB is persisted at intervals. If redis fails between persistence, data loss will occur. So this method is more suitable when the data requirements are not rigorous

2. AOFAppend-only file) persistence method:

It means that all command line records are completely persistently stored in the format of the redis command request protocol) and saved as an aof file.

advantage:

(1) Data security, aof persistence can be configured with appendfsync attribute, there is always, every time a command operation is performed, it will be recorded in the aof file once.

(2) Write files through append mode, even if the server is down in the middle, you can use the redis-check-aof tool to solve the data consistency problem.

(3) The rewrite mode of the AOF mechanism. Before the AOF file is rewrite (when the file is too large, the command will be merged and rewritten), you can delete some of the commands (such as the incorrectly operated flushall))

shortcoming:

(1) The AOF file is larger than the RDB file, and the recovery speed is slow.

(2) When the data set is large, the startup efficiency is lower than that of rdb.

Defination of the essential properties of operating systems

Define the essential properties of the following types of operating sys-tems:  Batch  Interactive  Time sharing  Real time  Network  Parallel  Distributed  Clustered  Handheld ANSWERS: a. Batch processing:-   Jobs with similar needs are batched together and run through the computer as a group by an operator or automatic job sequencer. Performance is increased by attempting to keep CPU and I/O devices busy at all times through buffering, off-line operation, spooling, and multi-programming. Batch is good for executing large jobs that need little interaction; it can be submitted and picked up later. b. Interactive System:-   This system is composed of many short transactions where the results of the next transaction may be unpredictable. Response time needs to be short (seconds) since the user submits and waits for the result. c. Time sharing:-   This systems uses CPU scheduling and multipro-gramming to provide economical interactive use of a system. The CPU switches rapidl

What is a Fair lock in multithreading?

  Photo by  João Jesus  from  Pexels In Java, there is a class ReentrantLock that is used for implementing Fair lock. This class accepts optional parameter fairness.  When fairness is set to true, the RenentrantLock will give access to the longest waiting thread.  The most popular use of Fair lock is in avoiding thread starvation.  Since longest waiting threads are always given priority in case of contention, no thread can starve.  The downside of Fair lock is the low throughput of the program.  Since low priority or slow threads are getting locks multiple times, it leads to slower execution of a program. The only exception to a Fair lock is tryLock() method of ReentrantLock.  This method does not honor the value of the fairness parameter.

How do clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems? What is required for two machines belonging to a cluster to cooperate to provide a highly available service?

 How do clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems? What is required for two machines belonging to a cluster to cooperate to provide a highly available service? Answer: Clustered systems are typically constructed by combining multiple computers into a single system to perform a computational task distributed across the cluster. Multiprocessor systems on the other hand could be a single physical entity comprising of multiple CPUs. A clustered system is less tightly coupled than a multiprocessor system. Clustered systems communicate using messages, while processors in a multiprocessor system could communicate using shared memory. In order for two machines to provide a highly available service, the state on the two machines should be replicated and should be consistently updated. When one of the machines fails, the other could then take‐over the functionality of the failed machine. Some computer systems do not provide a privileged mode of operation in hardware. Is it possible t
