 <p>One reason that a client will back off and retry is a <code>SERVER_TOO_BUSY</code> response from the server. This response is used in a number of overload situations. In a write-mostly workload, the most likely situation is that the server is low on memory and thus asking clients to back off while it flushes. Sure enough, when we graph the heap usage over time, as well as the rate of writes rejected due to low-memory, we see that this is the case:</p>

+    <p>Welcome to the twentieth edition of the Kudu Weekly Update. This weekly blog post
+covers ongoing development and news in the Apache Kudu project.</p>
+
+<!--more-->
+
+<h2 id="project-news">Project news</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <p>The first release candidate for the 0.10.0 is <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kudu-dev/201608.mbox/%3CCADY20s7U5jVpozFg3L%3DDz2%2B4AenGineJvH96A_HAM12biDjPJA%40mail.gmail.com%3E">now available</a></p>
+
+    <p>Community developers and users are encouraged to download the source
+tarball and vote on the release.</p>
+
+    <p>For information on what’s new, check out the
+<a href="https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/master/docs/release_notes.adoc#rn_0.10.0">release notes</a>.
+<em>Note:</em> some links from these in-progress release notes will not be live until the
+release itself is published.</p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="development-discussions-and-code-in-progress">Development discussions and code in progress</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <p>Will Berkeley spent some time working on the Spark integration this week
+to add support for UPSERT as well as other operations.
+Dan Burkert pitched in a bit with some <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kudu-dev/201608.mbox/%3CCALo2W-XBoSz9cbhXi81ipubrAYgqyDiEeHz-ys8sPAshfcik6w%40mail.gmail.com%3E">suggestions</a>
+which were then integrated in a <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3871/">patch</a>
+provided by Will.</p>
+
+    <p>After some reviews by Dan, Chris George, and Ram Mettu, the patch was committed
+in time for the upcoming 0.10.0 release.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Dan Burkert also completed work for the new <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3854/">manual partitioning APIs</a>
+in the Java client. After finishing up the basic implementation, Dan also made some
+cleanups to the related APIs in both the <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3958/">Java</a>
+and <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3882/">C++</a> clients.</p>
+
+    <p>Dan and Misty Stanley-Jones also collaborated to finish the
+<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3796/">documentation</a>
+for this new feature.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Adar Dembo worked on some tooling to allow users to migrate their Kudu clusters
+from a single-master configuration to a multi-master one. Along the way, he
+started building some common infrastructure for command-line tooling.</p>
+
+    <p>Since Kudu’s initial release, it has included separate binaries for different
+administrative or operational tools (e.g. <code>kudu-ts-cli</code>, <code>kudu-ksck</code>, <code>kudu-fs_dump</code>,
+<code>log-dump</code>, etc). Despite having similar usage, these tools don’t share much code,
+and the separate statically linked binaries make the Kudu packages take more disk
+space than strictly necessary.</p>
+
+    <p>Adar’s work has introduced a new top-level <code>kudu</code> binary which exposes a set of subcommands,
+much like the <code>git</code> and <code>docker</code> binaries with which readers may be familiar.
+For example, a new tool he has built for dumping peer identifiers from a tablet’s
+consensus metadata is triggered using <code>kudu tablet cmeta print_replica_uuids</code>.</p>
+
+    <p>This new tool will be available in the upcoming 0.10.0 release; however, migration
+of the existing tools to the new infrastructure has not yet been completed. We
+expect that by Kudu 1.0, the old tools will be removed in favor of more subcommands
+of the <code>kudu</code> tool.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Todd Lipcon picked up the work started by David Alves in July to provide
+<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/2642/">“exactly-once” semantics</a> for write operations.
+Todd carried the patch series through review and also completed integration of the
+feature into the Kudu server processes.</p>
+
+    <p>After testing the feature for several days on a large cluster under load,
+the team decided to enable this new feature by default in Kudu 0.10.0.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Mike Percy resumed working on garbage collection of <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/2853/">past versions of
+updated and deleted rows</a>. His <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3076/">main
+patch for the feature</a> went through
+several rounds of review and testing, but unfortunately missed the cut-off
+for 0.10.0.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Alexey Serbin’s work to add doxygen-based documentation for the C++ Client API
+was <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3840/">committed</a> this week. These
+docs will be published as part of the 0.10.0 release.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Alexey also continued work on implementing the <code>AUTO_FLUSH_BACKGROUND</code> write
+mode for the C++ client. This feature makes it easier to implement high-throughput
+ingest using the C++ API by automatically handling the batching and flushing of writes
+based on a configurable buffer size.</p>
+
+    <p>Alexey’s <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3952/">patch</a> has received several
+rounds of review and looks likely to be committed soon. Detailed performance testing
+will follow.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Congratulations to Ram Mettu for committing his first patch to Kudu this week!
+Ram fixed a <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1522">bug in handling Alter Table with TIMESTAMP columns</a>.</p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="upcoming-talks">Upcoming talks</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Mike Percy will be speaking about Kudu this Wednesday at the
+<a href="http://www.meetup.com/Denver-Cloudera-User-Group/events/232782782/">Denver Cloudera User Group</a>
+and on Thursday at the
+<a href="http://www.meetup.com/Boulder-Denver-Big-Data/events/232056701/">Boulder/Denver Big Data Meetup</a>.

+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Will Berkeley spent some time working on the Spark integration this week
+to add support for UPSERT as well as other operations.
+Dan Burkert pitched in a bit with some &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kudu-dev/201608.mbox/%3CCALo2W-XBoSz9cbhXi81ipubrAYgqyDiEeHz-ys8sPAshfcik6w%40mail.gmail.com%3E&quot;&gt;suggestions&lt;/a&gt;
+which were then integrated in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3871/&quot;&gt;patch&lt;/a&gt;
+provided by Will.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;After some reviews by Dan, Chris George, and Ram Mettu, the patch was committed
+in time for the upcoming 0.10.0 release.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Dan Burkert also completed work for the new &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3854/&quot;&gt;manual partitioning APIs&lt;/a&gt;
+in the Java client. After finishing up the basic implementation, Dan also made some
+cleanups to the related APIs in both the &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3958/&quot;&gt;Java&lt;/a&gt;
+and &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3882/&quot;&gt;C++&lt;/a&gt; clients.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Dan and Misty Stanley-Jones also collaborated to finish the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3796/&quot;&gt;documentation&lt;/a&gt;
+for this new feature.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Adar Dembo worked on some tooling to allow users to migrate their Kudu clusters
+from a single-master configuration to a multi-master one. Along the way, he
+started building some common infrastructure for command-line tooling.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Since Kudu’s initial release, it has included separate binaries for different
+administrative or operational tools (e.g. &lt;code&gt;kudu-ts-cli&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;kudu-ksck&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;kudu-fs_dump&lt;/code&gt;,
+&lt;code&gt;log-dump&lt;/code&gt;, etc). Despite having similar usage, these tools don’t share much code,
+and the separate statically linked binaries make the Kudu packages take more disk
+space than strictly necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Adar’s work has introduced a new top-level &lt;code&gt;kudu&lt;/code&gt; binary which exposes a set of subcommands,
+much like the &lt;code&gt;git&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;docker&lt;/code&gt; binaries with which readers may be familiar.
+For example, a new tool he has built for dumping peer identifiers from a tablet’s
+consensus metadata is triggered using &lt;code&gt;kudu tablet cmeta print_replica_uuids&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;This new tool will be available in the upcoming 0.10.0 release; however, migration
+of the existing tools to the new infrastructure has not yet been completed. We
+expect that by Kudu 1.0, the old tools will be removed in favor of more subcommands
+of the &lt;code&gt;kudu&lt;/code&gt; tool.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Todd Lipcon picked up the work started by David Alves in July to provide
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/2642/&quot;&gt;“exactly-once” semantics&lt;/a&gt; for write operations.
+Todd carried the patch series through review and also completed integration of the
+feature into the Kudu server processes.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;After testing the feature for several days on a large cluster under load,
+the team decided to enable this new feature by default in Kudu 0.10.0.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Mike Percy resumed working on garbage collection of &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/2853/&quot;&gt;past versions of
+updated and deleted rows&lt;/a&gt;. His &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3076/&quot;&gt;main
+patch for the feature&lt;/a&gt; went through
+several rounds of review and testing, but unfortunately missed the cut-off
+for 0.10.0.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Alexey Serbin’s work to add doxygen-based documentation for the C++ Client API
+was &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3840/&quot;&gt;committed&lt;/a&gt; this week. These
+docs will be published as part of the 0.10.0 release.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Alexey also continued work on implementing the &lt;code&gt;AUTO_FLUSH_BACKGROUND&lt;/code&gt; write
+mode for the C++ client. This feature makes it easier to implement high-throughput
+ingest using the C++ API by automatically handling the batching and flushing of writes
+based on a configurable buffer size.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Alexey’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3952/&quot;&gt;patch&lt;/a&gt; has received several
+rounds of review and looks likely to be committed soon. Detailed performance testing
+will follow.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Congratulations to Ram Mettu for committing his first patch to Kudu this week!
+Ram fixed a &lt;a href=&quot;https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1522&quot;&gt;bug in handling Alter Table with TIMESTAMP columns&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;

-multi-master operation, we are working on removing old code that is no longer
-needed. One such piece of code is called LocalConsensus. Once LocalConsensus is
-removed, we will be using Raft consensus even on Kudu tables that have a
-replication factor of 1.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;!--more--&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Using Raft consensus in single-node cases is important for multi-master
-support because it will allow people to dynamically increase their Kudu
-cluster’s existing master server replication factor from 1 to many (3 or 5 are
-typical).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;h1 id=&quot;the-consensus-interface&quot;&gt;The Consensus interface&lt;/h1&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In Kudu, the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/apache/incubator-kudu/blob/branch-0.9.x/src/kudu/consensus/consensus.h&quot;&gt;Consensus&lt;/a&gt;
-interface was created as an abstraction to allow us to build the plumbing
-around how a consensus implementation would interact with the underlying
-tablet. We were able to build out this “scaffolding” long before our Raft
-implementation was complete.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The Consensus API has the following main responsibilities:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ol&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Support acting as a Raft &lt;code&gt;LEADER&lt;/code&gt; and replicate writes to a local
-write-ahead log (WAL) as well as followers in the Raft configuration. For
-each operation written to the leader, a Raft implementation must keep track
-of how many nodes have written a copy of the operation being replicated, and
-whether or not that constitutes a majority. Once a majority of the nodes
-have written a copy of the data, it is considered committed.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Support acting as a Raft &lt;code&gt;FOLLOWER&lt;/code&gt; by accepting writes from the leader and
-preparing them to be eventually committed.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Support voting in and initiating leader elections.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Support participating in and initiating configuration changes (such as going
-from a replication factor of 3 to 4).&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ol&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The first implementation of the Consensus interface was called LocalConsensus.
-LocalConsensus only supported acting as a leader of a single-node configuration
-(hence the name “local”). It could not replicate to followers, participate in
-elections, or change configurations. These limitations have led us to
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/3350&quot;&gt;remove&lt;/a&gt; LocalConsensus from the code base
-entirely.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Because Kudu has a full-featured Raft implementation, Kudu’s RaftConsensus
-supports all of the above functions of the Consensus interface.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;h1 id=&quot;using-a-single-node-raft-configuration&quot;&gt;Using a Single-node Raft configuration&lt;/h1&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A common question on the Raft mailing lists is: “Is it even possible to use
-Raft on a single node?” The answer is yes.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Fundamentally, Raft works by first electing a leader that is responsible for
-replicating write operations to the other members of the configuration. In
-order to elect a leader, Raft requires a (strict) majority of the voters to
-vote “yes” in an election. When there is only a single eligible node in the
-configuration, there is no chance of losing the election. Raft specifies that
-when starting an election, a node must first vote for itself and then contact
-the rest of the voters to tally their votes. If there is only a single node, no
-communication is required and an election succeeds instantaneously.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So, when does it make sense to use Raft for a single node?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It makes sense to do this when you want to allow growing the replication factor
-in the future. This is something that Kudu needs to support. When deploying
-Kudu, someone may wish to test it out with limited resources in a small
-environment. Eventually, they may wish to transition that cluster to be a
-staging or production environment, which would typically require the fault
-tolerance achievable with multi-node Raft. Without a consensus implementation
-that supports configuration changes, there would be no way to gracefully
-support this. Because single-node Raft supports dynamically adding an
-additional node to its configuration, it is possible to go from one replica to
-2 and then 3 replicas and end up with a fault-tolerant cluster without
-incurring downtime.&lt;/p&gt;
