What is Hailstorm?
Hailstorm improves load balancing and resource efficiency in LSM-based distributed databases. The system functions as a filesystem layer beneath LSM storage engines like RocksDB, distributing data uniformly across storage devices within a rack using fine-grained blocks.
Key Benefits
This architectural approach enables database instances experiencing high loads to delegate compaction operations to less-utilized machines in the cluster, significantly improving overall system throughput and reducing tail latencies.
