1 TABLE DISTRIBUTION IN HANA HANA SAP Active Global Support, June 2012

2 Table Distribution : Why Load Balancing Parallelization Table Partitioning - A non-partitioned table can support only 2 billion rows. - Same table split across multiple index servers reduces delta merge processing time as modifications are restricted to a sub-set of tables and merge is spread across multiple nodes SAP AG.

3 Table Redistribution : Concept SAP HANA Supports two ways of distributing data.. HANA Slave Hana Master * Different tables assigned to different index servers (Database Partitioning) HANA Slave HANA Slave Hana Master * Same table split across multiple index servers (Table Partitioning) HANA Slave 2011 SAP AG.

4 Table Redistribution : Concept ~ Master Redistribution Master Slave Slave Slave Slave ~ During Redistribution the link to the table and not the physical table, is moved Prior to Rev54, Index Server crashes if the link is moved without moving the physical table. SAP Note The physical table is moved after table re-distribution whenever the next merge is triggered By default tables are distributed in a round-robin manner. However It is also possible to specify explicitly that a table or partition be created on a specific index server Manually move physical tables after redistribution prior to rev 54, before restarting the indexserver 2011 SAP AG.

5 Table Redistribution : Pre-Requisites You must have the system privilege RESOURCE ADMIN and at least the object privilege ALTER for all schemas involved to be able to run table Re-Distribution. To Modify table distribution manually from one host to another following system privileges are required : * System Privilege DATA ADMIN or * System Privilege CATALOG READ and SQL privilege ALTER Changing how tables are distributed across hosts of a distributed HANA system is a critical operation. Therefore before executing redistribution, it is recommended to save the current distribution of table data so that It can be restored later if needed. [HANA Studio ->Table Redistribution ->Landscape- >Redistribution->Save->Execute] Preferable be on HANA Revision 54 or higher (From Previous Slide) SAP AG. All rights reserved. Internal 5

6 Table Redistribution : Redistribution Scenarios Redistributing table before removing a host [HANA Studio->Administration Editor->Landscape-> Configuration->Remove Host] The system marks the host for removal and executes the required redistribution operation. This results in the data on the index server of the host being moved to the index servers of the remaining hosts in the system. Redistributing table after adding a host [HANA Studio]->Administration Editor->Landscape->Configuration->Redistribution-> Redistribution Operations->Redistribute tables after adding host(s)->execute]. The system redistributes the tables in your system across all available index servers. The associated redistribution operation appears in the list of executed operations. Restoring Previous Table Redistribution [HANA Studio]->Administration Editor->Landscape->Configuration->Redistribution-> Executed Operations->Show Plan->Restore]. Optimizing Table Redistribution [HANA Studio]->Administration Editor->Landscape->Configuration->Redistribution-> Redistribution Operations->Optimize table distribution->execute]. The system redistributes and repartition the tables and partitions in your system SAP AG. All rights reserved. Internal 6

7 Table Distribution : What resides where Master Node : Handles OLTP Load. ABAP system tables and general operational data of BW are stored on the master node. DDL statements are executed on this node, global locks are acquired here. Slave Node : Handles OLAP load exclusively. BW Data (master data + cubes/dso/psas) is distributed evenly across all slaves. This ensures a balanced utilization of the available CPU and memory resources. SAP note contains the current list of tables that are usually created as row store tables. All BW Master data is distributed across the slave servers using round robin. Fact, DataStore Object (DSO) and Persistent Staging Area (PSA) tables are partitioned with the predefined rule and distributed to the slave servers. There are no BW data tables on the master server. Other BW tables, including row-store tables, ABAP system tables and General Operation tables like REPOSRC are created on the master SAP AG. All rights reserved. Internal 7

8 Table Redistribution : Configuration * In a BW/HANA deployment you want the table location to be decided by a pre-defined BW table distribution rule. In order for the pre-defined rule to take effect, the method parameter in the table_placement section of global.ini must be set to 2. The parameter is applied only when creating new tables. * Parameter bw_schema in the table_placement section of the global.ini controls which schema is allowed on the master server. * Tables in all other schemas are created on slave servers. * All tables in BW that start with a / are always created on the slave servers. All other tables are only created on the master server if they are in one of the BW schema specified by parameter global.ini/table_placement/bw_schema SAP AG. All rights reserved. Internal 8

9 Table Redistribution : Monitoring SQL to Verify where the tables or partitions of a split table physically reside : select * from M_TABLE_PERSISTENCE_LOCATIONS where schema_name='your_schema' and table_name='your_table' SQL to check if there are tables in the system which have there persistence on a different host : "select schema_name, table_name, part_id, count(*) from "SYS"."M_TABLE_PERSISTENCE_LOCATIONS_" group by schema_name, table_name, part_id having count(*) > 1;" If the result is empty, there are no tables with persistence on different host. If there are table returned, there persistence can be physically moved by running the following command : Alter table <TABLE> move partition <PART_ID Physical; 2011 SAP AG. All rights reserved.

10 Table Redistribution : FAQ Tables can also be redistributed from within SAP BW. - SAP Note HANA Scale-out landscape, BW table partitions - SAP Note Partitioning BW tables in SAP HANA Database RSDU_TABLE_CONSISTENCY report will, in first run, identify tables need to be partitioned; in second run it will partition the tables Once a table is split, the entire table cannot be moved as a whole in one shot. Once the table is split, each partition has to be moved one at a time. Alter table <table_name> move part i to location <host:port> For non-split table, the entire table can be moved in one shot : Alter table name Move To Location <new_host:port> The port is index server internal port, which ends with 03. For example, if your instance is 24, then the port will be and the query for moving the whole table would be : alter table <table_name> Move To Location new_host: SAP AG. All rights reserved.
