Here is my project info.
====================
Dear Apache Incubator Community,
Please accept the following proposal for presentation and discussion:
https://github.com/lucene-cn/lxdb/wiki
LXDB is a high-performance,OLAP,full text search database.it`s base on hbase,but replaced hfile with lucene index to support more effective secondary indexes,it`s also base on spark sql,so that you can used sql api to visit data and do olap calculate. and also the lucene index is store on hdfs (not local disk).
In our Production System, LXDB supported 200+ clusters,some of the single cluster is 1000+ nodes,insert 200 billion rows per day ( 20000 billion rows for total), one of the biggest single table has 200million lucene index on LXDB.
Hadoop`s father Doug Cutting cut nutch into HBase, MapReduce (hive), HDFS, Lucene.We have merged these separated projects again,LXDB equals spark sql+hbase+lucene+parquet+hdfs,it is a super database.It took me 10 years to complete these merging operations.But the purpose is no longer a search engine, but a database.
Best regards

LXDB Proposal
== Abstract ==
LXDB is a high-performance,OLAP,full text search database.
=== it`s base on hbase,but replaced hfile with lucene index to support more effective secondary indexes.===
we modify hbase region server ,we change hfile to lucene,when put data we put document to lucene instande of put data to hfile
lucene index store on region server (it is not sote in different cluster like elstice search+hbase ,it takes to copy of data)
=== it`s base on spark sql for olap===
we Integrated spark and hbase together ,it`s useage like this ,
1.unpackage lxdb.tar.gz
2.config hadoop_config path,
3.run start-all.sh to start cluster.
lxdb can startup spark through hadoop yarn ,and then spark executor process Embedded start hbase region server service .
you can operate lxdb database throuth spark sql api(hive) or mysql api.
1.the sql used spark rdd+hbase scaner to visit hbase .
2.the sql`s condition (filter or group by agg) will predicate to hbase ,
3.hbase used lucene index to filter data in region server.
all of the spark,hbase,lucene is Embedded Integrated together,it is not a seperate cluster ,that is the different with solr/es + hbase+spark Solution.
== Background ==
=== Multiple copies of data ===
Apache HBase+Elastic Search is the most popular Solution on full text search ,but it`s weak on Online AnalyticalProcessing.
so most of the time the Production System used spark(or hive or impala or presto) ,hbase,solr/es at the same time.Multiple copies of data are stored in multiple systems,multiple systems has different Api .Data consistency is difficult to guarantee.For the above reasons we merger spark,hbase,elastic into one project .it`s target is used one copy of data,one cluster,one api to solve olap,kv,full text...database scenarios.
=== Merging and splitting of lucene indexes(hstore) acrocess different machine on hdfs ===
As we all know solr/es store file in local fileSystem,it`s shard num must be a fix num,but if we store index on hdfs,the index can split able like hbase hstore,it can split or merge acorss machine nodes ,this is very usefull for distribute database ,it depend malloc how much resource on a table,most of time the records of a table is different by time by time so the num of shards always need adjust,if index store local it can`t split acroces throw different machine ,but lucene index store on hdfs it`s can do it.
whether the number of pieces can be flexibly adjusted, whether it has the ability of elastic scaling, in a distributed database is particularly important
=== solved Insufficient of secondary indexes ===
some people use hbase secondary index like Phoenix prjoect. but those programme base on the hbase rowkey has a lot of redundancy,He can't create too many indexes,Data inflation rate is too high,so used lucene index instand of secondary is the best chooses.
=== we add an lucene index for spark olap===
Most of OLAP systems has violent scanning problems and Poor timeliness of data like hive,spark sql,impala or some of the mpp database.
1.They used violent scans to calculate the data.but another choice is add index to the big data.some of the time using index can greatly improve the performance of the original brute force scanning. i think that just like the traditional database, indexing technology can greatly improve the performance of the speed database.
2.Another problem of thoses database or system, Most of them are an offline system or batch system,lxdb `s target is realtime append ,realtime kv update just like hbase.
==future==
=== lucene on parquet ===
recenetly i will change lucene tim,tip(invert index) ,dvd,dvm files to like parquet or orc format.
To solve the performance problem of traversing Lucene index.To solve the problem that opening Lucene file needs to load files such as tip into memory, which leads to slow opening Lucene index file,To enable Lucene to store multi column joint index by column, which is used to handle some logic such as multi table join and materialized view ,mulity fields group by by invert index,The current Lucene index has many problems because of too many file pointers and single column problems,We want to modify Lucene to make it more suitable for HDFS, not only for full-text retrieval, but also better at statistical analysis, which is a real database level index,We want Lucene to be splitable, which can separate storage from computation.
=== supporting all kinds of Predicate pushdown calculation ===
We find that if we can combine the calculation method with the data closely, we can give more play to the performance of the database. Index is only a way of calculating push down. For example, storage push down, we can store the index on the SSD device, and the data part on the SATA device. We can store the data that are often grouped together in advance, instead of calculating line by line, We can give important tables or columns to dedicated devices and resources, but these hbases are still lacking, which we need to further improve
=== Distribution of intervention data ===
we can used row key to intervention data to different nodes ,it can do many interestest things
=== Resource control, resource isolation ===
lucene recent is not support resource isolation,but on hdfs we can do it , I can control the priority of SQL so that Lucene with higher priority can get faster IO resources.
== Status ==
since 2011 I released the first open source version on Alibaba ,At that time, mdrill used 10 nodes 48g machines to support 400 billion data. the first index on hdfs is from this version.it`s one year ahead of the community. https://github.com/alibaba/mdrill .
since 2014 i stoped mdrill project update for the reason of i join into tencent . in our team we developed hermes project ,we also build lucene on hdfs , hermes now realtime import 1000 billion rows of data per day.It's the largest database I've ever developed , https://plus.tencent.com/bigdata/hermes
since 2018 I set up my own company called luxin, Lu Xin is the Chinese pronunciation of Lucene. as a funs of lucene ,luxin company`s domain is lucene.xin ,mail domain is lucene.cn.
luxin`s first version of lxdb is called lsql,it`s means lucene sql. it used lucene(2.5.3)+hdfs+spark(1.6.3),it is stable, about 200+ of cluster use lsql. it`s process about 200 billions per day ,amount of 20000 billions rows in one single cluster. (1000 nodes)
since 2010 In the case of COVID-19 our team decide to developed the next generation of lsql called lxdb(lx=lucene pronunciation ). we add hbase to lsql To solve the update problem.nowadays we have finish the first version of lxdb. https://github.com/lucene-cn/lxdb/wiki
== Known Risks ==
==Meritocracy ==
lxdb has been deployed in production and is applying more than 200 lines of business. It has demonstrated great performance benefits and has proved to be a better way for reporting and analysis based big data. Still We look forward to growing a rich user and developer community.
=== Orphaned products ===
The core developers currently work full-time for Luxin.
lxdb is widely adopted by many companies and individuals. There's no
realistic chance of it becoming orphaned. and we have a number of 1000 person tencent qq Instant messaging group
=== Inexperience with Open Source===
The core developers are all active users and followers of open source. They are already committers and contributors to the lxdb project. developed yannian mu has tens years on open source project, jstorm https://github.com/alibaba/jstorm and mdrill https://github.com/alibaba/mdrill
=== Homogenous Developers ===
The most of core developers are from luxin for the Closed source products reason, but when lxdb was open sourced, lxdb will received a lot of bug fixes and enhancements from other developers not working at luxin.Where did you learn it from and where did you return it.
===Reliance on Salaried Developers ===
Lxin invested in lxdb as the solution and some of its key engineers are working full time on the project. In addition, since there is a growing Big Data need for scalable solutions, we look forward to other Apache developers and researchers to contribute to the project. Also key to addressing the risk associated with relying on Salaried developers from a single entity is to increase the diversity of the contributors and actively lobby , Apache lxdb intends to do this.
=== An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===
Lxdb is proposing to enter incubation at Apache in order to help efforts to diversify the committer-base, not so much to capitalize on the Apache brand. The Lxdb project is in production use already inside lxdb, but is not expected to be an lxdb product for external customers. As such, the lxdb project is not seeking to use the Apache brand as a marketing tool.
