Overview

• Simple Relational Database Implemented in Golang
• Origin of SamehadaDB is Golang ported BusTub RDBMS: go-bustub

What is Samehada?

• Samehada, which literally means shark skin, is a tool used to grate wasabi, usually for sushi, but also for other Japanese cuisines
• Samehada features its grid shape that forms air bubbles between the grated wasabi, minimizing unnecessary spiciness
• We are proud to call SamehadaDB because the grid produces a pleasant taste and aroma with a nice harmony

Current Status

• SamehadaDB can be used as simple embedded DB (library form)
  • Simple Single Page Application Demo (TODO App)))
  • Above demo uses SamehadaDB on backend API server
    • Modification for migration from PostgreSQL to SamehadaDB (please see backend/api/api.go)
    • All app codes
      • builded frontend JS code is little bit modified directly for escape from re-compile...
      • above code tree can be deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk (on not https and use 8088 port)
• And can be used as DB server which offers REST API I/F
  • Please see server directory and this note
  • The server listen on http://0.0.0.0:19999/Query (this means localhost, 127.0.0.1, other IP addresses your machine has)
    • Content-Type of request and response are "application/json"
  • Additionaly the server listen on http://0.0.0.0:19999/QueryMsgPack
    • Content-Type of request is "application/json" but one of response is "application/octet-stream"
    • Response is serialized binary in MessagePack specification
    • For understanding response data schema, easy way is reading demo client code (schema is almost same with JSON response)
      • code (JS)
  • There are Win binary and Linux binary at Release page
    • if Linux one runs without error at lauch, you are lucky :)
    • when error occurs, you need to build by myself :)
      • please check that value of EnableOnMemStorage constant is false and modify it if needed (/lib/common/config.go)
  • there is simple client which can be useed on browser in demo-client dir
    • very simple SPA. requirement is web browser which can executes JS only :)
      • It can access SamehadaDB server on your machine (localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc...)
    • It is also pleced at here for demonstration
      • ryogrid.net:19999 is public SamehadaDBd server for the demonstration
      • Do not insert private or secret information/data! the server does not do isolation
• ATTENTION: SamehadaDB is not developed for productional use! There are no warranties!
• By the way, procedure described on next section executes almost all defined unit tests except these of taking long time

Procedure of Executing SamehadaDB (executing unit tests)

• Please install golang environment with package system your OS has (apt, yum, brew ...etc)
  • If you use Windows, you can select both Windows native environment and WSL Ubuntu environment
• If you select Windows native environments or golang environment which is installed with package system can't execute SamehadaDB, you should install official binary directly
  • Please refer Download and Install - The Go Programming Language
• Executing all unit tests which test several features and components of SamehadaDB except several tests taking long time
  • $ git clone https://github.com/ryogrid/SamehadaDB.git
  • $ cd SamehadaDB
  • $ go clean -testcache; go test ./... -short -v

Roadmap

• Predicates on Seq Scan
• Multiple Item on Predicate: AND, OR
• Predicates: <, >, <=, >=
• Null ¹
• Predicates: NOT ¹
• Inline types (integer, varchar, float, boolean, bigint, smallint, decimal, timestamp, datetime and etc)
• Delete Tuple
• Update Tuple
• LIMIT / OFFSET ¹
• Varchar
• Persistent Catalog
• Updating of Table Schema
• LRU replacer
• Latches
• Transactions
• Rollback When Abort Occurs
• Logging
• Checkpointing
  • Simple Checkpointing (all transaction block until finish of checkpointing)
  • Fuzzy Checkpointing (ARIES)
• Recovery from Logs
• Index
  • Hash Index
    • Hash index can be used only equal(=) operator is specified to index having columns
    • Access is serialized (not parallel)
  • SkipList Index
    • Alternative of B-tree Index
    • Parallel accesible
  • B-tree Index
  • Logging Accesses And Recovery Of Index Data
• JOIN
  • INNER JOIN (Hash Join, Index Join, Nested Loop Join)
    • Condition specified at ON clause should be composed of single item and can use equal(==) operator only
  • OUTER JOIN
  • CROSS JOIN
• Aggregations (COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM on SELECT clause including Group by and Having) ¹
• Sort (ORDER BY clause) ¹
• Tuple Level Locking With Strong Strict 2-Phase Locking (SS2PL) Protocol
• Concurrent Execution of Transactions
  • Avoidance of phantom problem is not implemented yet
    • So, current transaction isolation level is "REPEATABLE READ"
• Execution Planning from hard coded SQL like method call I/F (like some kind of embedded DB)
• Execution of Query with SQL string
  • not supported multi queries on a request yet
• Frontend Impl as Embedded DB Library (like SQLite)
• Deduplication of Result Records (Distinct)
• Query Optimization (Selinger)
  • cases below are not supported now
    • predicate including OR operation, NOT, IS NULL
    • projection including aggregation
    • LIMIT, ORDER BY
• TRANSACTION Statement on SQL
  • This includes adding support of multi statements (multi statements is not suported on SQL now)
• AS clause
• Nested Query
• Predicates: IN
• DB Connector (Driver) or Other Kind of Network Access Interface
  • MySQL or PostgreSQL Compatible Protocol
  • REST
• Deallocate and Reuse Page
  • Need tracking page usage by BufferPoolManager or TableHeap and need bitmap in header page corresponding to the tracking
• Optimization of INSERT
  • Current implementation searches a free space which is enough for insert data with sequential scan from head (this is slow on exsisting large amount of records situation)
• UNION clause
• Materialization (implementation of component for temporal teble management)
• Authentication
• Making Usable from OR Mapper of One Web Framework Such as Django (Python) on Simple Application Scope
  • implementation of DB driver/connector for Python is needed (Or supporting major RDBMS compatible NW I/F)

Limitations

• to be wrote...
