Big Queue

A big, fast and persistent queue based on memory mapped file.

Notice, bigqueue is just a standalone library, for a high-throughput, persistent, distributed, publish-subscrible messaging system, please refer to Luxun, Luxun messaging system uses bigqueue internally as fast and persistent queue.

##Feature Highlight:

  1. Fast: close to the speed of direct memory access, both enqueue and dequeue are close to O(1) memory access.
  2. Big: the total size of the queue is only limited by the available disk space.
  3. Persistent: all data in the queue is persisted on disk, and is crash resistant.
  4. Reliable: OS will be responsible to presist the produced messages even your process crashes.
  5. Realtime: messages produced by producer threads will be immediately visible to consumer threads.
  6. Memory-efficient: automatic paging & swapping algorithm, only most-recently accessed data is kept in memory.
  7. Thread-safe: multiple threads can concurrently enqueue and dequeue without data corruption.
  8. Simple&Light-weight: current number of source files is 12 and the library jar is less than 30K.

The Big Picture

###Memory Mapped Sliding Window

design

##Performance Highlight:

  • In concurrent producing and consuming case, the average throughput is around 166M bytes per second.
  • In sequential producing then consuming case, the average throughput is around 333M bytes per second.

Suppose the average message size is 1KB, then big queue can concurrently producing and consuming
166K message per second. Basically, the throughput is only limited by disk IO bandwidth.

here is a detailed performance report

##How to Use

Note : bigqueue depends on log4j, please also added log4j jar reference if you use bigqueue.
