We love hearing about organizations that are doing innovative things with Red Hat technologies, which is why we were excited to see this blog post from Twitter's engineering team on how it used Netty, a JBoss Community project, to build a new Java server front-end to its realtime search engine called Blender.
With one of the most heavily trafficked search engines (with more than one billion queries per day, according to Twitter), Twitter set out to build a new search engine that would handle its “ever-growing traffic, improve the end-user latency and availability of our service, and enable rapid development of new search features.” JBoss Netty, a client server framework for the development of highly performable and scalable network applications, turned out to be the answer for Twitter.
Twitter engineering described Blender and how they are using Netty in its blog:
Blender is a Thrift and HTTP service built on Netty, a highly-scalable NIO client server library written in Java that enables the development of a variety of protocol servers and clients quickly and easily. We chose Netty over some of its other competitors, like Mina and Jetty, because it has a cleaner API, better documentation and, more importantly, because several other projects at Twitter are using this framework. To make Netty work with Thrift, we wrote a simple Thrift codec that decodes the incoming Thrift request from Netty’s channel buffer, when it is read from the socket and encodes the outgoing Thrift response, when it is written to the socket.
Netty defines a key abstraction, called a Channel, to encapsulate a connection to a network socket that provides an interface to do a set of I/O operations like read, write, connect, and bind. All channel I/O operations are asynchronous in nature. This means any I/O call returns immediately with a ChannelFuture instance that notifies whether the requested I/O operations succeed, fail, or are canceled.
When a Netty server accepts a new connection, it creates a new channel pipeline to process it. A channel pipeline is nothing but a sequence of channel handlers that implements the business logic needed to process the request. In the next section, we show how Blender maps these pipelines to query processing workflows.
The results?
Following the launch of Blender, our 95th percentile latencies were reduced by 3x from 800ms to 250ms and CPU load on our front-end servers was cut in half. We now have the capacity to serve 10x the number of requests per machine. This means we can support the same number of requests with fewer servers, reducing our front-end service costs.
