Introducing Databus: LinkedIn's Low Latency Change Data Capture Tool
Great article by Siddharth Anand1 introducing LinkedIn’s Databus: a low latency system used for transferring data between data stores (change data capture system):
Databus offers the following feature:
- Pub-sub semantics
- In-commit-order delivery guarantees
- Commits at the source are grouped by transaction
- ACID semantics are preserved through the entire pipeline
- Supports partitioning of streams
- Ordering guarantees are then per partition
- Like other messaging systems, offers very low latency consumption for recently-published messages
- Unlike other messaging systems, offers arbitrarily-long look-back with no impact to the source
- High Availability and Reliability
The ESB model is well-known, but like NoSQL databases, Databus is specialized in handling specific requirements related to distributed systems and high volume data processing architectures.
