Rain Technology

Rain Technology is a research project that aims to build a reliable distributed computing system. It includes components for redundant data storage across nodes, fault-tolerant communication between nodes, and automatic recovery of applications if a node fails. The architecture connects nodes in a way that tolerates multiple simultaneous failures. Features include communication protocols, group membership functions, and error-correcting data storage codes. Applications include high availability video and web servers.

INTRODUCTION

 The name of the original research project is RAIN which stand’s for
Reliable Array of Independent Nodes. The RAIN technology originated in
a research project at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech),in
collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
I. A component that stores data across distributed processors and retrieves it
even if some of the processors fail.
II. A communications component that creates a redundant network between
multiple processors and supports a single, uniform way of connecting to
any of the processors.
III. A computing component that automatically recovers and restarts
applications if a processor fails
Goals of Rain Technology

 RAIN Technology is able to offer the solution by minimizing


number of nodes in the chain connecting the client and server.

 RAIN Technology making the exiting nodes more robust and


independent of each other.

 RAIN Technology provides the feature of replacing a faulty


node by a healthy one.

The Problem

How to connect n computing nodes in a ring of n switches?


A NAIVE APPROACH

 In this approach, we connect all the nodes to the nearest switch.


 A ring is 1-fault tolerant so, we can loose 1 switch without upset.
 A 2nd switch is failure can partition the network.
Diameter Construction dc=2

 Here the nodes are connected to switches that are maximum distance
apart from each other which is diameter in ring. Diameter construction
with nodes of degree 2 connected to n switches of degree 4 can tolerate 3
fault without partitioning the network. Which is optimal.

Diameter construction for n (a) odd (b) even


Group Membership

 The main function of group member is to


tolerate the fault.
 Group member ensure that all processes
maintain a consistent view of global
membership.
Token Mechanism:
Data Storage

Fault tolerance in data storage


across many disks is obtained
using redundant storage schemes.
Novel error-correcting codes
have been developed for this
purpose. These are array codes
that encode and decode using
simple XOR operations.
Advantages

 There is no limit on the size of a RAIN cluster.

 There is no concept of master-slave relation.

 A RAIN cluster can tolerate multiple node failure.

 This is highly efficiency in traffic management.

 New node can be added into the cluster to participate in load


sharing.

 It work with many different intermit application.


Applications

 High Availability Video Server


 High Availability Web Server
 Distributed Check pointing Mechanism
Future Scope

 Development of API’s for using the various building blocks.

 The implementation of a real distributed file system using the


partitioning scheme developed here.

 The group communication protocols are being extended to


address more challenging scenarios.
Conclusion

 The goal of the RAIN project has been to build a test-bed for
various building blocks that address fault management

 Communication and storage in a distributed environment.

 The creation of such building blocks is important for the


development of a fully functional distributed computing system.
