Dynomite, inspired by Dynamo whitepaper, is a thin, distributed dynamo layer for different storages and protocols.

When Dynomite team decided to settle on using C language, we found Twemproxy and did a fork in order to provide more features than just being a proxy layer.

To build Dynomite from source with debug logs enabled and assertions disabled:

$ git clone [email protected]:Netflix/dynomite.git
$ cd dynomite
$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure --enable-debug=log
$ make
$ src/dynomite -h

To build Dynomite in debug mode:

$ git clone [email protected]:Netflix/dynomite.git
$ cd dynomite
$ autoreconf -fvi
$ CFLAGS="-ggdb3 -O0" ./configure --enable-debug=full
$ make
$ sudo make install

Usage: dynomite [-?hVdDt] [-v verbosity level] [-o output file]
                  [-c conf file] [-s stats port] [-a stats addr]
                  [-i stats interval] [-p pid file] [-m mbuf size]

Options:
  -h, --help             : this help
  -V, --version          : show version and exit
  -t, --test-conf        : test configuration for syntax errors and exit
  -d, --daemonize        : run as a daemon
  -D, --describe-stats   : print stats description and exit
  -v, --verbosity=N      : set logging level (default: 5, min: 0, max: 11)
  -o, --output=S         : set logging file (default: stderr)
  -c, --conf-file=S      : set configuration file (default: conf/dynomite.yml)
  -s, --stats-port=N     : set stats monitoring port (default: 22222)
  -a, --stats-addr=S     : set stats monitoring ip (default: 0.0.0.0)
  -i, --stats-interval=N : set stats aggregation interval in msec (default: 30000 msec)
  -p, --pid-file=S       : set pid file (default: off)
  -m, --mbuf-size=N      : set size of mbuf chunk in bytes (default: 16384 bytes)

Dynomite can be configured through a YAML file specified by the -c or --conf-file command-line argument on process start. The configuration files parses and understands the following keys:

• env: Specify environment of a node. Currently support aws and network (for physical datacenter).
• datacenter: The name of the datacenter. Please refer to architecture document.
• rack: The name of the rack. Please refer to architecture document.
• dyn_listen: The port that dynomite nodes are using to inter-communicate and gossip.
• gos_interval: The sleeping time in milliseconds at the end of a gossip round.
• tokens: The token(s) owned by a node. Currently, we don't support vnode yet so this only works with one token for the time being.
• dyn_seed_provider: A seed provider implementation to provide a list of seed nodes
• dyn_seeds: A list of seed nodes in the format: address:port:rack:dc:tokens (node that vnode is not supported yet)
• listen: The listening address and port (name:port or ip:port) for this server pool.
• timeout: The timeout value in msec that we wait for to establish a connection to the server or receive a response from a server. By default, we wait indefinitely.
• preconnect: A boolean value that controls if dynomite should preconnect to all the servers in this pool on process start. Defaults to false.
• redis: A boolean value that controls if a server pool speaks redis or memcached protocol. Defaults to false.
• server_connections: The maximum number of connections that can be opened to each server. By default, we open at most 1 server connection.
• auto_eject_hosts: A boolean value that controls if server should be ejected temporarily when it fails consecutively server_failure_limit times. See liveness recommendations for information. Defaults to false.
• server_retry_timeout: The timeout value in msec to wait for before retrying on a temporarily ejected server, when auto_eject_host is set to true. Defaults to 30000 msec.
• server_failure_limit: The number of conseutive failures on a server that would leads to it being temporarily ejected when auto_eject_host is set to true. Defaults to 2.
• servers: A list of local server address, port and weight (name:port:weight or ip:port:weight) for this server pool. Usually there is just one.

For example, the configuration file in conf/dynomite.yml

Finally, to make writing syntactically correct configuration file easier, dynomite provides a command-line argument -t or --test-conf that can be used to test the YAML configuration file for any syntax error.
