Introduction中文
Pika is a high-performance, large-capacity, multi-tenant, data-persistent elastic KV data storage system using RocksDB as the storage engine. It is fully compatible with the Redis protocol and supports its commonly used data structures, such as string/hash/list/zset/set/geo/hyperloglog/pubsub/bitmap/stream, etc. Redis Interface.
When Redis's in-memory usage exceeds 16GiB, it faces problems such as limited memory capacity, single-threaded blocking, long startup recovery time, high memory hardware costs, easily filled buffers, and high switching costs when one master and multiple replicas fail. The emergence of Pika is not to replace Redis but to complement it. Pika strives to completely comply with the Redis protocol, inherit Redis's convenient operation and maintenance design, and solve the bottleneck problem of Redis running out of memory capacity once the data volume becomes huge by using persistent storage. Additionally, Pika can support master-slave mode using the slaveof command, and it also supports full and incremental data synchronization.
Pika can be deployed in a single-machine master-slave mode (slaveof) or in a Codis cluster mode, allowing for simple scaling and shrinking. Migration from Redis to Pika can be smoothly executed by tools.
- Protocol Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Redis protocol, emphasizing high performance, large capacity, low cost, and scalability.
- Data Structures: Supports Redis's common data structures, including String, Hash, List, Zset, Set, Geo, Hyperloglog, Pubsub, Bitmap, Stream, ACL, etc.
- Cold and Hot Data: Caches hot data and persistently stores the full data in RocksDB, implementing a hierarchical storage of cold and hot data.
- High Capacity: Compared to Redis's in-memory storage, Pika supports data volumes in the hundreds of gigabytes, significantly reducing server resource consumption and enhancing data reliability.
- Deployment Modes: Supports single-machine master-slave mode (slaveof) and Codis cluster mode, making scaling and shrinking simple.
- Easy Migration: Smooth migration from Redis to Pika without modifying code.
- Convenient Operation and Maintenance: Comprehensive operation and maintenance command documentation.
- Supports multiple platforms: CentOS, Ubuntu, macOS
- Multi-threaded model
- Based on the RocksDB storage engine
- Multiple granularity data caching model
- Architecture similar to Redis
- Good compatibility with Redis protocol and data structures
- Each data structure uses a separate RocksDB instance
- Master-slave adopts binlog asynchronous replication
- Adopts Codis architecture, supports multiple groups
- Each group forms a master-slave set
- Elastic scaling based on groups
Pika has been widely adopted by various companies for internal deployments, demonstrating its scalability and reliability. Some notable usage instances include:
- 360 Company: Internal deployment with a scale of 10,000+ instances, each having a data volume of 1.8TB.
- Weibo: Internal deployment with 10,000+ instances.
- Ximalaya(Xcache): 6,000+ instances with a massive data volume exceeding 120TB.
- Getui (个推) Company: Internal deployment involving 300+ instances, with a cumulative data volume surpassing 30TB.
Additionally, Pika is utilized by companies such as Xunlei, Xiaomi, Zhihu, New Oriental Education & Technology Group (好未来), Kuaishou, Sohu, Meituan, Maimai, and more. For a comprehensive list of users, you can refer to the official list provided by the Pika project.
These deployments across a diverse range of companies and industries underscore Pika's adaptability and effectiveness in handling large-scale, high-volume data storage requirements.
Users can directly download the latest binary version package from releases.

-
2.3.1. Get the source code
git clone https://github.com/OpenAtomFoundation/pika.git
-
2.3.2. Switch to the latest release version
git tag # Check the latest release tag (e.g., v3.4.1) git checkout TAG # Switch to the latest version (e.g., git checkout v3.4.1)
-
2.3.3. Execute compilation
If the machine's gcc version is less than 9, especially on CentOS6 or CentOS7, you need to upgrade the gcc version first. Execute the following commands:
sudo yum -y install centos-release-scl sudo yum -y install devtoolset-9-gcc devtoolset-9-gcc-c++ scl enable devtoolset-9 bash
For the initial compilation, it is recommended to use the build script build.sh, which checks if the required software is available on the local machine.
./build.sh
Note: The compiled files will be saved in the output directory.
Pika is compiled by default in release mode, which does not support debugging. If debugging is needed, compile in debug mode.
rm -rf output/ cmake -B output -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cd output && make
Other components, such as codis and pika_operator, can also be compiled using build.sh.
# Compile codis, default target, build-all ./build.sh codis # Compile codis, but only build codis-proxy ./build.sh codis codis-proxy # Compile pika_operator ./build.sh operator
-
-
./output/pika -c ./conf/pika.conf
-
If you need to clear the compilation content, you can choose one of the following methods based on the situation:
Method 1: Clean only the current compilation content
cd output && make clean
Method 2: Completely recompile
rm -rf output # regenerate cmake
-
docker run -d \ --restart=always \ -p 9221:9221 \ -v <log_dir>:/pika/log \ -v <db_dir>:/pika/db \ -v <dump_dir>:/pika/dump \ -v <dbsync_dir>:/pika/dbsync \ pikadb/pika:v3.3.6 redis-cli -p 9221 "info"

If you want to build your own image, we provide a script
build_docker.sh
to simplify the process.This script accepts several optional parameters:
-t tag
: Specify the Docker tag for the image. By default, the tag is pikadb/pika:.-p platform
: Specify the platform for the Docker image. Options include all, linux/amd64, linux/arm, linux/arm64. By default, it uses the current docker platform setting.--proxy
: Use a proxy to download packages to speed up the build process. The build will use Alibaba Cloud's image source.--help
: Display help information.
Here is an example usage:
./build_docker.sh -p linux/amd64 -t private_registry/pika:latest
-
Using pika-operator simplifies the deployment of a single-instance pika in a Kubernetes environment.
Note: Do not use this feature in a production environment.
Local installation:
-
Install MiniKube
-
Deploy Pika-operator
cd tools/pika_operator make minikube-up # run this if you don't have a minikube cluster make local-deploy
- Create a Pika instance
cd tools/pika_operator kubectl apply -f examples/pika-sample/
- Check the Pika status
kubectl get pika pika-sample
- Get Pika instance information
kubectl run pika-sample-test \ --image redis -it --rm --restart=Never \ -- /usr/local/bin/redis-cli -h pika-sample -p 9221 info
