# KV Tictac Tree

[![Build Status](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/actions/workflows/erlang.yml/badge.svg?branch=develop-3.4)](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/actions)

An Active Anti-Entropy library for Key-Value stores in Erlang.

This is currently a working prototype with basic testing.  The target for the library is to be fully integrated with [Riak KV](https://github.com/basho/riak_kv) for Release 3.0 (Autumn 2018).

The library could in theory be used by any Erlang application wanting to use Merkle trees to compare different data stores, it is designed for Riak but not coupled to Riak.  It is not though a general substitute for Merkle trees when the cryptographic strength of Merkle trees is of importance (e.g. a blockchain implementation).

## Overview

Library to provide an Active-Anti-Entropy (AAE) capability in a KV store.  The AAE functionality is based on that normally provided through [Merkle Trees](https://github.com/basho/riak_core/blob/2.1.9/src/hashtree.erl), but with two changes from standard practice:

- The Merkle trees are not cryptographically secure (as it is assumed that the system will use them only for comparison between trusted actors over secure channels).  This relaxation of security reduces significantly the cost of maintenance, without reducing their effectiveness for comparison over private channels.  To differentiate from secure Merkle trees the name TicTac Merkle trees is used.  [Further details on Tictac trees can be found here](docs/TICTAC.md).

- Indexing of key stores within the AAE system can be 2-dimensional, where the store supports scanning by segment within the store as well as the natural order for the store (e.g. key order).  The key store used is a Log-Structured Merge tree but the bloom-style indexes that are used within the store to accelerate normal access have been dual-purposed to align with the hashes used to map to a key into the Merkle tree, and therefore to accelerate access per-segment without requiring ordering by segment.  [Further details on making bloom-based indexes in LSM trees dual prupose can be found here](docs/SEGMENT_FILTERED_SST.md)

The purpose of these changes, and other small improvements to standard Merkle tree anti-entropy, are to allow for:

- Supporting Active Anti-Entropy without the need to maintain and synchronise additional `parallel` key stores to provide a tree-ordered view of the store.  this depends on the primary store having `native` AAE support, and a `parallel` store may still be used where this support is not available.

- Cached views of TicTac Merkle trees to be maintained in memory by applying deltas to the trees, so as to avoid the scanning of dirty segments at the point of exchange and allow for immediate exchanges.  Also the cache will be maintained and kept up-to-date during rebuild activity, to prevent loss of anti-entropy validation during any background rebuild processes.

- False positive avoidance by double-checking each stage of the exchange (separated by a pause), utilising the low cost of querying the tree, and avoiding the false-negative exchanges associated with timing differences between changes reaching different vnodes.

- The rapid merging of TicTac Merkle trees across data partitions - so a tree for the whole store can be quickly built from cached views of partitions within the store, and be compared with a matching store that may be partitioned using a different layout.

- A consistent set of features to be made available between AAE in both `parallel` and `native` key store mode - including the ability to query the AAE store to discover information which otherwise would require expensive object folds.

- Fully asynchronous API to the AAE controller so that the actual partition (vnode) management process can run an AAE controller without being blocked by AAE activity.

- Allow for AAE exchanges to compare Keys and Clocks for mismatched segments, not just Keys and Hashes, so repair functions can be targeted at the side of the exchange which is behind - avoiding needlessly duplicated 2-way repairs.

## Primary Actors

The primary actor in the library is the controller (`aae_controller`) - which provides the API to startup and shutdown a server for which will manage TicTac tree caches (`aae_treecache`) and a parallel Key Store (`aae_keystore` - which may be empty when run in `native` mode).  The `aae_controller` can be updated by the actual vnode (partition) manager, and accessed by AAE Exchanges (either directly or also via the vnode manager).

The AAE exchanges (`aae_exchange`) are finite-state machines which are initialised with a Blue List and a Pink List to compare.  In the simplest form the two lists can be a single vnode and partition identifier each - or they could be different coverage plans consisting of multiple vnodes and multiple partition identifiers by vnode.  The exchanges pass through two root comparison stages (to compare the root of the trees, taking the intersection of branch mismatches from both comparisons), two branch comparison stages, and then a Key and logical identifier exchange based on the leaf segment ID differences found, and finally a repair.

The AAE exchange should work the same way if two partitions are bing compared, or two coverage queries across multiple partitions are being compared.

[More detail on the design can be found here](docs/DESIGN.md).

## Using the Library

Following the [current tests](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/blob/master/test/end_to_end/basic_SUITE.erl) presently provides the simplest guide to using the library.  There is also a [`mock_kv_vnode`](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/blob/master/test/end_to_end/mock_kv_vnode.erl) process used in these tests, and provides a sample view of how an `aae_controller` could be integrated.

There are two main branches:

[`develop-3.1 - default`](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/tree/develop-3.1): Target for the Riak 3.1 release with support for OTP 22 and OTP 24;

[`develop-3.0`](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/tree/develop-3.0): Used in the Riak 3.0 release with support for OTP 20 and OTP 22;

[`develop-2.9`](https://github.com/martinsumner/kv_index_tictactree/tree/develop-2.9): Used in the Riak 2.9 release with support for OTP R16 through to OTP 20.

### Contributing and Testing

The acceptance criteria for updating kv_index_tictactree is that it passes rebar3 dialyzer, xref, eunit, and ct with 100% coverage.

To have rebar3 execute the full set of tests, run:

`rebar3 as test do xref, dialyzer, cover --reset, eunit --cover, ct --cover, cover --verbose`

For those with a Quickcheck license, property-based tests can also be run using:

`rebar3 as eqc do eunit --module=aae_eqc`

### Riak KV

[This overview](docs/RIAK_2_AAE.md) details how the current (Riak KV 2.2.5) AAE implementation works.

[This overview](docs/RIAK_3_AAE.md) details how the target (Riak KV 3.0) AAE implementation is expected to work utilising KV Tictac Trees.
