Abstract

In this paper, we analyze how the journaling mechanism on a keyvalue store has an impact of the performance of a Solid State Drive (SSD). Journaling is a widely used technique in a modern database management system to provide high reliability and fast recovery from system failures. However, journaling mechanism writes the same data twice to both the journal area and data area and this write amplification causes performance degradation by increasing the storage traffic. Eliminating the impact of the write amplification is very challenging. This observation motivated us to change the approach for solving the performance degradation. Instead of handling the problem in system level, we focused on internal SSD level. For the purpose, we analyze the performance bottleneck of an SSD when journaling mechanism is used for a key-value store. A key-value store system model is proposed for the analysis. This paper reveals that frequent write operation to journal area can cause serious SSD performance degradation by increasing the overhead of cache line eviction.
