LeoFS - The Lion of Storage Systems

Overview

LeoFS is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. If you are searching a storage system that is able to store huge amount and various kind of files such as photo, movie, log data and so on, LeoFS is suitable for that.

LeoFS is supporting the following features:

Multi Protocol
- S3-API Support
  - LeoFS is an Amazon S3 compatible storage system.
  - Switch to LeoFS to decrease your cost from more expensive public-cloud solutions.
- NFS Support
  - NFS support was provided from LeoFS v1.1, the current status of which is beta.
Large Object Support
- LeoFS can handle files with more than GB
Multi Data Center Replication
- LeoFS is a highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed file system without SPOF.
- LeoFS's cluster can be viewed as ONE-HUGE storage. It consists of a set of loosely connected nodes.
- We can build a global scale storage system with easy operations

Architecture

LeoFS consists of 3 applications - LeoFS Storage, LeoFS Gateway and LeoFS Manager which depend on Erlang.

LeoFS Gateway handles http-request and http-response from any clients when using REST-API OR S3-API. Also, it is already built in the object-cache mechanism (memory and disk cache).

LeoFS Storage handles GET, PUT and DELETE objects as well as metadata. Also, it has replicator, recoverer and queueing mechanism in order to keep running a storage node and realise eventual consistency.

LeoFS Manager always monitors LeoFS Gateway and LeoFS Storage nodes. The main monitoring status are Node status and RING’s checksum in order to realise to keep high availability and keep data consistency.

We can access LeoFS server using S3 clients and S3 client libries of each programming language.

Slide

The presentation - Scaling and High Performance Storage System: LeoFS was given at Erlang User Conference 2014 in Stockholm on June 2014

GOALs

LeoFS aims to provide all of 3-HIGHs as follow:
- HIGH Reliability
  - Nine nines - Operating ratios is 99.9999999%
- High Scalability
  - Build huge-cluster at low cost
- HIGH Cost Performance
  - Fast - Over 10Gbps
  - A lower cost than other storage
  - Provide easy management and easy operation

Build LeoFS with LeoFS Packages

LeoFS packages have been already provided on the Web. You're able to easily install LeoFS on your environments.

LeoProject
Community
- FreeBSD

Here is the installation manual.

Build LeoFS From Source (For Developers)

Here, we explain how to build LeoFS from source code.

First, you have to install the following packages to build Erlang and LeoFS.

## [CentOS]
$ sudo yum install libuuid-devel cmake check check-devel
## [Ubuntu]
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool libncurses5-dev libssl-dev cmake check

Then, install Erlang.

##
## 1. Install libatomic
##
$ wget http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/download/libatomic_ops-7.2d.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf libatomic_ops-7.2d.tar.gz
$ cd libatomic_ops-7.2d
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

##
## 2. Install Erlang (17.5)
##
$ wget http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_17.5.tar.gz
$ tar xzf otp_src_17.5.tar.gz
$ cd otp_src_17.5
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/erlang/17.5 \
              --enable-smp-support \
              --enable-m64-build \
              --enable-halfword-emulator \
              --enable-kernel-poll \
              --without-javac \
              --disable-native-libs \
              --disable-hipe \
              --disable-sctp \
              --enable-threads \
              --with-libatomic_ops=/usr/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

##
## 3. Set PATH
##
$ vi ~/.profile
    ## append the follows:
    export ERL_HOME=/usr/local/erlang/17.5
    export PATH=$PATH:$ERL_HOME/bin

$ source ~/.profile

Then, clone source of LeoFS and libraries from GitHub.

$ git clone https://github.com/leo-project/leofs.git
$ cd leofs
$ git checkout -b develop remotes/origin/develop
$ ./rebar get-deps
$ ./git_checkout.sh develop

Then, build LeoFS with the following commands.

$ make clean
$ make
$ make release

Now, you can find the LeoFS package as follow.

$ ls package/
leo_gateway/  leo_manager_0/  leo_manager_1/  leo_storage/  README.md

Then, we can start and access LeoFS with the following commands. Also, you're able to easily operate LeoFS with leofs-adm script.

$ package/leo_manager_0/bin/leo_manager start
$ package/leo_manager_1/bin/leo_manager start
$ package/leo_storage/bin/leo_storage start
$ package/leo_gateway/bin/leo_gateway start
$ ./leofs-adm status
