It's primarily for Object Storage in which drive is key/value server with Ethernet connectivity.
The Kinetic Drive API provides following capability
1) Kinetic Key-Value Access
2) Key Ordering and Iterators
3) Cluster Management
4) Drive Management
5) Security Management
Since storage are no longer aggregated behind a server, this enable Software defined storage in which any storage any drive can be provisioned to any process in the cluster.
1st Generation Kinetic Drive Limitation
4KB Key and 1 MB Values.. (Drive Management handles the limitation)
2 1GB ethernet over SGMII (Mechanically identical as SAS connector).
So what is Kinetic ??
1) A new classs of key/value Ethernet Drives + Open API and series of libraries
Drives talks in keys and value as opposed to blocks. They do get, put and deletes.
Drive efficiently manages
1) Managing key ordering
2) QOS
3) Policy based 'drive-2-drive' data migration.
4) Handling of partial device failures and other management.
5) Data Security
This new model where legacy software and hardware are removed and thus storage can truly be disaggregated from compute, so Racks will be more dense, fans are minimized.
Kinetic drive are native key/value stores. This shifts the burden of maintaining the space mapping from filesystem to the drive itself. Application needs to only put and get objects and no longer need to guess the LBA layout or prescribe data location.
Advantage of Kinetic Disk Drive:
1) Multiple Client with Shared Data.
2) Data Migration between 2 Kinetic Drive.
Kinetic Library API
a) Admin API : getLog, setSecurity, setup
b) Client API : Synchronous, Asynchronous, put, get, delete, getNext, getPrevious, getKeyRange, getMetadata.
Kinetic Simulator
Simulator API provides a simulator boot-strap class used for application to start a new Instance of the simulator as a drive.
Default Port: 8123 as service port
Simulator Setup
==========
1) Download Eclipse IDE from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developer/keplersr2
2) extract eclipse-java-kepler-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
3) Start eclipse
4) Import Kinetic Git hub repositories... (Make sure you have account with Seagate to access Kinetic Git Hub)
https://github.com/Seagate/kinetic-java.git
and
https://github.com/Seagate/Kinetic-Preview.git
Download Apache-Maven
http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
Run mvn clean package in Kinetic Directory.
Set classpath environment variable.. make sure set jar file created by maven.
export CLASSPATH=/home/ssd/kinetic/Kinetic-Preview/lib/Kinetic-0.6.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar:.:/home/ssd/kinetic/Kinetic-Preview/target/kinetic-0.6.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
