This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0047752 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Apr. 24, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a method for processing an event in a database, and more particularly, to a method of processing an event when a failure occurs in a database.
Businesses of enterprises are rapidly expanding with explosive data growth and the emergence of diverse environments and platforms. As new business environments emerge, more efficient and flexible data services and information processing, and data management functions are needed. In response to these changes, a research is continued on databases to solve problems of high performance, high availability, and scalability which are foundations of corporate business implementation.
In a database management system (DBMS), data may be stored in a data storage. When the database includes a large amount of data, it may take a relatively long time to process a query to retrieve data in which a user is interested. When it takes a long time for the database to respond to the query, it may adversely affect performance of the database.
A plurality of execution plans may be considered in connection with a manner in which the query (or event) issued from the client is processed. Since the respective execution plans have different properties, it is necessary to determine an algorithm most suitable for processing the corresponding query before processing the corresponding query. In this case, when a failure occurs in some objects of the database required for processing the query, an execution plan for processing the query needs to be considered. When the failure occurs in at least some objects of the database, there is a need in the art to efficiently process the query received from the client.
Korean Patent Unexamined Publication No. 2019-0032694 discloses a method for designing a database using a hierarchical structure.

Hereinafter, a system including the hyper loader will be described with reference to
A database management system may include a hyper loader 100, a backend 200, a frontend 300, a client 400, a user interface 500, and a cloud database management server 600. Each of the objects of the system may be constituted as computing devices. The system may be configured based on cloud computing.
The hyper loader 100 may process an event received from the client 400 using at least one of the backend 200 and the frontend 300.
The hyper loader 100 may transmit and receive data to and from another computing device in order to process the event received from the client 400. The hyper loader 100 may transform the event or store information related to the event in order to process the event received from the client 400. The hyper loader 100 may wait for receiving information on the event even at an idle time when the event is not received. That is, an event manager 170 may continuously wait in a state in which the event manager 170 is capable of receiving the event.
The hyper loader 100 may store the information related to the event. For example, the hyper loader 100 may store information regarding the event, data information acquired by transforming the event, information regarding a backend for processing the event, and the like. For example, the hyper loader 100 may store information regarding a data read/write request based on the event in the hyper loader 100 before transmitting the data read/write request based on the event to the backend 200 and when receiving from the backend 200 processing completion information for the requested data read/write request, the hyper loader 100 may delete information regarding the stored data read/write request. The concrete description of the hyper loader 100 is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The hyper loader 100 may perform transformation of the event before transmitting the data read/write request based on the event to the backend 200. Transformation of the event performed by the hyper loader 100 may mean transforming the event received from the client 400 to a format which may be processed by the backend 200 or the frontend 300.
The backend 200 may be a storage storing data. For example, when the event is a streaming event for storing the data in the database, the backend 200 may store data in the database based on the data write request received from the hyper loader 100. For example, when the event is a read event for reading data from the database, the backend 200 may read data from the database based on the data read request received from the hyper loader 100 and transmit the read data to the hyper loader 100. The concrete description of the backend 200 is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The system may include one or more backends 200. One or more respective backends 200 may store different data or may contain the same data. For example, when data is distributed and stored, two or more back-ends 200 may store different data, respectively. Further, for example, the system may include a mirroring backend against a case where the backend 200 is failed or the data of the backend 200 is lost, and as a result, integrity is broken. In this case, the mirroring backend may store the same data as the backend 200 to be mirrored. The concrete description of the two or more backends is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The frontend 300 may generate an execution plan for processing the event. The frontend 300 may generate an execution plan for processing the event based on an address on a network of the backend or the frontend included in a cloud database management server 600 and an address of data that may be stored in the frontend or the backend. A plan for processing the event may be an execution plan based a location of the backend 200 storing or to store data for processing the event. The concrete description of the frontend is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The system may include one or more frontends 300. When one frontend connected with the hyper loader 100 is failed among one or more frontends 300, another frontend may be connected with the hyper loader 100 instead of the failed frontend.
The client 400 may request the hyper loader 100 to load data. The client 400 transmits the event to the hyper loader 100 to load data to read or write data from the database. For example, when the client 400 is a banker terminal, the client 400 may transmit the read event for verifying a balance of a customer account stored in the database to the hyper loader 100. For example, when the client 400 is an artificial intelligent speaker, the client 400 may transmit to the hyper loader 100 the streaming event for storing information which a speaker user requests to the speaker through a voice in the database.
The user interface 500 may provide an interface for managing the hyper loader 100 by a user who uses the database management system. The user may verify the event or data being processed by the hyper loader 100 or a usage amount of the memory 130 of the hyper loader 100 through the user interface 500. The user may manage the hyper loader 100 through the user interface 500. For example, the user may limit a capacity of the memory 130 used in the hyper loader 100 or modify a processing method of the event using the user interface 500. The concrete description of the user interface is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The cloud database management server 600 may manage at least one of the frontend 300 and the backend 200. The cloud database management server 600 may store an address on the network of the frontend 300 or the backend 200 and an address of data that may be stored on the frontend 300 or the backend 200. The cloud database management server 600 may store a frontend list and a backend list. The cloud database management server 600 may store manage metadata for the frontend and the backend. The frontend 300 may generate the execution plan for the event based on the information stored in the cloud database management server 600. The cloud database management server 600 may store the metadata based on the data stored in the backend 200. The concrete description of the cloud database management server is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
Hereinafter, a method for processing the event received from the client 400 using the hyper loader 100 will be described. The event may be processed by a conventional path or a direct path. The conventional path and the direct path will be described below.
The event received from the client 400 may be processed through the backend 200 via the frontend 300. The conventional path may be a method of processing the event via the frontend 300. The hyper loader 100 may transmit the event received from the client 400 to the frontend 300. The frontend 300 may generate the execution plan for processing the event based on the event received from the hyper loader 100. The execution plan generated by the frontend 300 may be a plan generated based on the metadata stored in the cloud database management server 600. The execution plan may include a plan for processing the event and may include, for example, backend information to be accessed to process the event. The execution plan may include information regarding which backend of one or more of the backends 200 is to access which table in order to process the event. The frontend 300 may transmit the generated execution plan to the hyper loader 100. The hyper loader 100 may transmit an event-based data read/write request to the backend 200 to be accessed in order to process the event based on the execution plan received from the frontend 300. When the event is the read event, the hyper loader 100 may transmit the data read request based on the read event to the backend 200 storing required data based on the read event. When the event is the streaming event, the hyper loader 100 may request the backend 200 for storing data to store data based on the streaming event based on the streaming event. The concrete description of the conventional path is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The event received from the client 400 by the hyper loader 100 may be processed through the backend 200 immediately without passing through the frontend 300. The direct path may be a method of processing the event through the backend 200 immediately without passing through the frontend 300. For the direct path, it may be necessary to pass through a prepare process with the frontend 200.
Hereinafter, an operation of preparing for event processing based on the direct path method in the hyper loader 100 will be described.
The hyper loader 100 may request the frontend list and the backend list to the frontend 300 in order to prepare for the event processing based on the direct path method. The hyper loader 100 may receive the frontend list and the backend list from the frontend 300 based on the request.
The frontend list may include information regarding one or more frontends. The information regarding one or more frontends may include information regarding another frontend that may perform a task in place of the frontend where the failure occurs when the failure occurs in one frontend. Information regarding other frontend that may perform the task in place of the frontend where the failure occurs may be information regarding the mirroring frontend for the frontend where the failure occurs. The mirroring frontend may be a frontend which stores the same data against a case where one frontend is to be failed. Further, the information regarding another frontend that may perform the task in place of the frontend where the failure occurs may be information regarding a frontend that performs another task.
The backend list may include information regarding one or more backends. The backend list may include addresses for one or more backends. Further, the backend list may include information regarding data included in the backend. The information regarding the data included in the backend may include information on a table, a column, etc., which include data. For example, the backend list may include information regarding which table is stored in which backend. The hyper loader 100 may receive the backend list from the frontend 300 and process the event by the direct path based on the received backend list.
The hyper loader 100 may establish a connection with one or more backends based on the received backend list. The hyper loader 100 may establish a connection with one or more backends based on the addresses for one or more backends included in the received backend list. The hyper loader 100 may process the event by the direct path based on the connection between the hyper loader 100 and the backend 200. When receiving the event, the hyper loader 100 may load data to the backend 200 without passing through the frontend 300 based on the connection.
Hereinafter, an operation for processing the event based on the direct path method in the hyper loader 100 will be described. Specifically, an operation of processing the event received from the client 400 by using the direct path method by the hyper loader 100 will be described.
The hyper loader 100 may receive the event from the client 400. The hyper loader 100 may transform the event to a format which may be processed by the backend 200.
The hyper loader 100 may store information regarding the transformed event. The hyper loader 100 may store the information regarding the data read/write request before transmitting the data read/write request to the backend 200. The hyper loader 100 may store the information regarding the data read/write request and the information regarding the backend for processing the data read/write request. The hyper loader 100 may transmit the data read/write request to one or more backends 200. The hyper loader 100 may keep storing the information regarding the data read/write request and the information regarding the backend for processing the data read/write request without deleting the information regarding the data read/write request and the information regarding the backend for processing the data read/write request until receiving the processing completion information from one or more backends 200 transmitting the data read/write request.
The hyper loader 100 may identify the backend 200 where which the event received from the client 400 needs to be processed based on the backend list and transmit the data read/write request information to the backend 200 immediately using the connection established through the prepare process without passing through the process of generating the execution plan in the frontend 300. The hyper loader 100 may generate the data read/write request to be transmitted to the backend 200 based on the transformation of the event received from the client 400.
The backend 200 may read/write data to the backend 200 based on the received data read/write request. The backend 200 may transmit the processing completion information to the hyper loader 100 that the reading/writing is completed based on the data read/write request after completing execution of the task based on the received data read/write request.
The hyper loader 100 may receive the processing completion information for the data read/write request from one or more backends 200 that transmit the data read/write request. When the hyper loader 100 receives the processing completion information for the data read or write request, the hyper loader 100 may delete the information regarding the stored read/write request to correspond to the backend 200 transmitting the processing completion information and the information regarding the backend for processing the data read/write request.
The hyper loader 100 may transmit the information based on the read/write request to the client 400 when necessary based on the reception of the processing completion information from the backend 200. The hyper loader 100 may transmit to the client 400 the information regarding the data read based on the read event. The hyper loader 100 may transmit to the client 400 the information regarding the data written based on the streaming event.
Hereinafter, an operation of storing changed data of the backend 200 when data is changed in the backend 200 when processing the event based on the direct path method will be described.
The hyper loader 100 may transmit to the frontend 300 a storage request for the changed data of the backend 200. The hyper loader 100 may transmit the storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 in a predetermined time period to the frontend 300 or may transmit the storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 when data is changed a predetermined number of times in the backend 200, but this is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The frontend 300 may transmit the storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 based on the storage request for the received changed data of the backend 200. The backend 200 may receive from the frontend 300 the storage request for the changed data. The backend 200 may store the changed data based on the storage request for the changed data received from the frontend 300. The backend 200 may transmit to the frontend 300 storage completion information for the changed data after completing storing the changed data. The frontend 300 may transmit to the frontend 300 the storage completion information for the changed data of the backend 200 based on the reception of the storage completion information for the changed data from the backend 200.
Since the direct path loads data on the backend immediately without passing through the frontend, when another user inquires data through the frontend, another user may not inquire the changed data in the backend. For example, another user may not perform an operation such as sending a select statement through the frontend because the data of the backend is not changed through the frontend when data is changed in the backend. When the hyper loader transmits the storage request for the changed data of the backend to the backend through the frontend, the frontend may inquire the changed data of the backend. When the changed data of the backend is stored through the frontend, the backend and the frontend may store information regarding the changed data even though the hyper loader is failed.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the hyper loader 100 may transmit to the frontend 300 the storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 at a predetermined period. For example, the hyper loader 100 may transmit to the frontend 300 a storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 every n seconds. According to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the hyper loader 100 may transmit the storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 to the frontend 300 based on a predetermined data change degree. For example, the hyper loader 100 may transmit to the frontend 300 the storage request for the changed data of the backend 200 whenever a size of the changed data of the backend 200 becomes n bytes. The concrete description of the storage request of the backend is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In the case of the event processing in the related art, when the failure occurs in at least one computing device among two or more computing devices processing the event, all of tasks being performed by other computing devices are also failed. Further, when the failure occurs in at least one computing device among two or more computing devices in the middle of processing the event, there is a problem that all tasks are rolled back and the processing of the event needs to be performed again at the beginning. When the processing of the event is performed based on the method for processing event when the frontend is failed or the method for processing the event when the backend is failed according the present disclosure, even though the failure occurs in at least one computing device in the middle of processing the event, other computing devices are capable of processing the corresponding event and all tasks may be prevented from being rolled back.
Hereinafter, an operation of the hyper loader 100 for processing the event in the failure of a backend 210 will be described with reference to
When only the backend 210 is failed among two or more computing devices for processing the event, the client 400 transmitting the event and the hyper loader 100 processing the event may not be failed but perform normal tasks. Hereinafter, a method for processing the event by using the hyper load 100 when the backend 210 is failed will be described.
The processor 120 may receive backend failure information for at least one backend 210 among one or more backends through the network unit 110. The processor 120 may receive the backend failure information from a frontend 300 through the network unit 110 even though the backend 210 is failed. When the backend 210 is failed, the cloud database management server 600 may detect the failure and transmit the backend failure information to the frontend 300. The frontend 300 may transmit the backend failure information to the processor 120 based on the backend failure information received from the cloud database management server 600. The backend failure information may include information regarding the failed backend 210. The information regarding the failed backend 210 may include the address of the failed backend 210.
The processor 120 may receive the event from the client 400 via the network unit 110 after receiving the backend failure information. When the processor 120 receives the event from the client 400 through the network unit 110, the processor 120 may determine one or more backends 200 for processing the received event. The processor 120 may identify the backend 200 for processing the event based on the backend list received from the frontend 300 in the preparation step for event processing. The processor 120 may identify the address of the backend 200 for processing the event. For example, when the event is a read event for reading data A and B stored in the backend 200, the processor 120 may identify a first backend and a second backend stored in data A and B, respectively based on the backend list. The concrete description of the processing of the event is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The processor 120 may verify whether the event is an event corresponding to the failed backend 210. The processor 120 may identify one or more backends 200 for processing the event based on the backend list received from the frontend 300. The processor 120 may identify whether there is a backend corresponding to the failed backend 210 of the one or more identified backends 200. When there is no failed backend 210 among one or more backends 200 identified based on the event, the processing of the event is irrespective to the failure of the backend 210, and as a result, the processing of the event may be performed based on unfailed backends 200. When there is the failed backend 210 among one or more backends 200 identified based on the event, the processing of the event may be performed by the processing while the failure of the backend occurs.
Hereinafter, the processing while the failure of the backend occurs for the event when there is the failed backend 210 among one or more backends 200 identified based on the event will be described.
The processor 120 may verify the type of event when the event is the event corresponding to the failed backend 210. The type of event may include the streaming event for writing data or a read event for reading data included in the backend.
The streaming event may be an event for writing data to the backend. For example, when the client 400 is a smart cleaner, a streaming event for requesting streaming data for a location currently cleaned by the smart cleaner to be stored may be transmitted to the processor 120 through the network unit 110. The streaming event may be transmitted from the client 400 to the processor 120 through the network unit 110 whenever the location of the smart cleaner is changed and when data based on the streaming event is not immediately stored, the data may be lost. The concrete description of the streaming event is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The read event may be an event for reading the data stored in the backend. For example, when the client 400 is the bank terminal, when an account balance of a customer is checked, a read event for requesting reading the data from the backend storing the data regarding the account balance may be transmitted to the processor 120 through the network unit 110. The concrete description of the read event is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The method for processing the event in the failure of the backend by the processor 120 may vary depending on the type of event. The processor 120 may determine the method for processing the event corresponding to the failed backend while the failure of the backend occurs based on the type of event.
Hereinafter, a method for processing a streaming event received after the failure of the backend 210 while the failure of the backend occurs by the processor 120 will be described.
When the type of event is the streaming event, an operation of determining the event processing method while the failure of the backend of the event occurs by the processor 120 may include an operation of determining to store the data based on the event in a physical storage space. The processor 120 may store the data based on the event corresponding to the failed backend 210 in the physical storage space. The physical storage space may include, for example, a disk. The concrete description of the physical storage space is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The processor 120 may receive from the frontend 300 recovery information indicating that the failed backend 210 is recovered. The cloud database management server 600 may detect the recovery for the failed backend 210 and transmit backend recovery information for the failed backend 210 to the frontend 300. The frontend 300 may transmit the recovery information for the failed backend 210 to the processor 120 through the network unit 110 based on the backend recovery information for the failed backend 210, which is received from the cloud database management server 600. The recovery information for the failed backend 210 may include information regarding the recovered backend 210. The recovery information for the failed backend 210 may include the address of the recovered backend 210. When there are two or more failed backends, the processor 120 may identify which backend is recovered based on the recovery information for the failed backend.
The processor 120 may transmit the data based on the event stored in the physical storage space to the recovered backend after recovery of the failed backend 210 via the network unit 110. The processor 120 may receive the recovery information of the failed backend through the network unit 110 and identify which backend is recovered. The processor 120 may identify data corresponding to the recovered backend among one or more data stored in the physical storage space. The processor 120 may transmit data identified to correspond to the recovered backend to the recovered backend through the network unit 110.
The processor 120 may transmit the data identified to correspond to the recovered backend stored in the physical storage space to the recovered backend through the network unit 110 at a predetermined time after the recovery of the backend. The predetermined time may be, for example, a time zone in which a frequency of use of the database is low. For example, the processor 120 may transmit the data based on the event stored in the physical storage space to the recovered backend through the network unit 110 at an early morning time in which a read/write frequency of the data included in the database is low. For example, the data based on the event stored in the physical storage space may be transmitted to the recovered backend within a predetermined time interval after the recovery of the backend. The concrete description of the transmission of the data to the recovered backend is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
Hereinafter, a method for processing the streaming event while the failure of the backend occurs when the backend is failed while the streaming event is processed by the processor 120 will be described.
The processor 120 may identify one or more backends 200 for processing the streaming event when receiving the streaming event. The processor 120 may store in the memory 130 information regarding the streaming event and one or more backends for processing the streaming event. The processor 120 may store the information based on the streaming event in the memory 130 and then, transmit a request based on the data to one or more backends 200 for processing the streaming event through the network unit 110.
After the processor 120 transmits the data write request based on the streaming event to one or more backends via the network unit 110, the processor 120 may receive from the frontend 300 backend failure information for at least one backend among the one or more backends 200. The processor 120 may not receive the processing completion information for the data write request from the failed backend 210 as the backend 210 is failed. Since the processor 120 may not receive the processing completion information for the data write request, the processor 120 may not delete the information related to the streaming event from the memory 130. Accordingly, the memory 130 may continue to store information regarding the streaming event when the backend 210 is failed during the processing of the streaming event.
The processor 120 may determine to store the data based on the streaming event stored in the memory 130 in the physical storage space based on the reception of the backend failure information. The processor 120 may transmit the data stored in the physical storage space to the recovered backend after the recovery of the backend through the network unit 110. The physical storage space may include, for example, the disk. The concrete description of the physical storage space is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
Hereinafter, a method for processing the read event received after the failure of the backend while the failure of the backend occurs by the processor 120 will be described.
When the type of event received from the client 400 through the network unit 110 is the read event, the processor 120 may determine to stop at least one of transmission and transformation of the data based on the read event. When the backend 210 is failed, the processor 120 may determine to stop a reception task of the event or a transformation task of the event for the read event. When the processor 120 completes only a task being processed in the middle of receiving the event or transforming the event, the processor 120 may determine to stop the reception or transformation task of the event, which is performed by the processor 120.
The streaming event may be an event in which data for writing is input in real time and the corresponding data may be lost when the data input in real time may not be stored. Accordingly, the processor 120 may store the data based on the streaming event in the physical storage space and then, transmits to the recovered backend the data stored in the physical storage space through the network unit 110 after the backend 210 is recovered in order to prevent data from being lost.
On the other hand, the read event is an event for reading the data stored in the database and there is no risk of data being lost even if the event is not processed in real time. In the case of the read event, since a loss problem of data does not occur even though the processing of the data based on the read event is performed after waiting until the backend 210 is recovered, it may be determined that the reception or transformation task of the event in the processing 120 is stopped. After the backend is recovered, the processor 120 may perform the task again in order to process the event received from the client 400.
Hereinafter, a method for processing the read event while the failure of the backend occurs when the backend is failed in the middle of the processing of the read event by the processor 120 will be described.
The processor 120 may identify one or more backends 200 for processing the read event when receiving the read event through the network unit 110. The processor 120 may store in the memory 130 information regarding the read event and information regarding one or more backends 200 for processing the read event. The processor 120 may store the information based on the read event in the buffer 150 and then, transmit a request based on the data to one or more backends for processing the read event.
After the processor 120 transmits the data read request based on the read event to one or more backends, the processor 120 may receive from the frontend 300 the backend failure information for at least one backend among the one or more backends 200. The processor 120 may not receive the processing completion information for the data read request from the failed backend 210 as the backend 210 is failed. Since the processor 120 may not receive the processing completion information for the data read request, the processor 120 may not delete the information related to the read event from the memory 130. Accordingly, the memory 130 may continue to store information regarding the read event when the backend 210 is failed during the processing of the read event.
The processor 120 may transmit the data read request based on the read event corresponding to the recovered backend to the recovered backend when receiving the recovery information indicating that the failed backend 210 is recovered from the frontend 300.
Hereinafter, an operation of the processor 120 based on the recovered backend after recovery of the failed backend will be described.
The processor 120 may receive the recovery information of the failed backend through the network unit 110. The processor 120 may receive the recovery information for the backend from the frontend 300. The processor 120 may establish a connection with at least one backend among the one or more backends.

The processor 120 may process the event received from the client after receiving the recovery information for the backend. The processor 120 may process the event based on the connection with the recovered backend.
The processor 120 may transmit data load request information to at least one backend among the one or more backends based on the event received from the client. The data load request information may include information for reading/writing data. The processor 120 may store in the memory 130 at least one of the data load request information and information regarding at least one backend 200 transmitting the data load request. When the processor 120 receives the processing completion information based on the data load request information from at least one backend 200 transmitting the data load request information, the processor 120 may delete at least one of the data load request information and the information regarding at least one backend 200 transmitting the data load request from the memory 130.
Hereinafter, an operation of the hyper loader 100 for processing the event in the failure of the backend 310 will be described with reference to
The processor 120 may receive a frontend list including information regarding the one or more frontends 300 from one frontend among one or more frontends 300 through the network unit 110. The processor 120 may receive a frontend list including information regarding one or more frontends 300 from the frontend 300 connected with the hyper loader 100 through the network unit 110. The frontend list may include the information regarding one or more frontends 300. The frontend list may include information regarding the addresses of one or more frontends 300. The information regarding one or more frontends 300 may include information regarding another frontend 320 which may perform the task instead of the failed frontend 310 when the frontend 310 connected with the hyper loader 100 is failed.
When at least one frontend 310 is failed among the one or more frontends 300, the processor 120 may establish a connection with another frontend 320 other than the failed frontend 310 based on the frontend list. The processor 120 may cut the connection with the backend 200 which is connected based on the failed frontend 310.
The processor 120 may establish a connection with at least one backend 200 among the one or more backends based on the connection with the another frontend 320. The processor 120 may perform the connection with another frontend 320 and may receive the backend list from another frontend 320 through the network unit 110 again.
The processor 120 may determine the processing method of the event received from the client 400 while the failure of the frontend occurs until establishing the connection with at least one backend among the one or more backends 200 since the at least one frontend 310 is failed. The processor 120 may determine the processing method of the event received from the client 400 while the failure of the frontend occurs until establishing the connection with at least one backend among the one or more backends 200 based on the establishment of the connection with another frontend 320 after establishing the connection with another frontend 320 since the frontend 310 is failed. The event may be the streaming event for storing data or the read event for reading data included in the backend. The processor 120 may determine the processing method while the failure of the frontend occurs based on the type of event.
Hereinafter, a method for processing the streaming event received after the failure of the frontend 310 while the failure of the frontend occurs by the processor 120 will be described.

The processor 120 may determine to store the data based on the event in the physical storage space when the type of event is the streaming event. The physical storage space may include, for example, the disk. The concrete description of the physical storage space is just an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
The processor 120 may establish the connection with another frontend 320, establish the connection with at least one backend among the one or more backends 200 based on the establishment of the connection with the another frontend 320 and then, transmit the data based on the event stored in the physical storage space to the backend for processing the event.
Hereinafter, a method for processing the read event received after the failure of the frontend 310 while the failure of the frontend occurs by the processor 120 will be described.
When the type of event in which the processor 120 receives from the client 400 through the network unit 110 until establishing the connection with at least one backend among one or more backends 200 after the failure of the frontend 310 is the read event for reading data included in at least one backend among the one or more backends 200, the processor 120 may determine to perform the processing of the read event again after establishing the connection with at least one backend among the one or more backends 200. When the type of event is the read event, the processor 120 may read unavailable data since the failure of the frontend 310 through the backend 200. Accordingly, the processor 120 may determine to read the data based on the read event in the backend 200 again after establishing the connection with another frontend 320 based on the frontend list in order to read available data.
The processor 120 may determine to perform processing for the read event based on data since a recent storage timing of one or more backends 200 in order to perform the processing for the read event again. The processor 120 may determine to perform the processing for the read event again based on data since a recent storage timing of changed data in one or more backends 200. The processor 120 may determine to read data after a reception timing of storage completion information which is most recently received from the frontend 300 again in the backend 200.
When the frontend is failed, a connection with a new another frontend may be established immediately unlike the case where the backend is failed. Further, when the frontend is failed, since a connection with another frontend is newly established unlike the recovery of the backend, a recovery time is short. Further, when only the frontend is failed and the backend is not failed, the processing for the read event is available, but the processor 120 may read wrong data. Accordingly, the processor 120 may establish the connection with another frontend again and thus establish the connection with the backend and then, read the data after the recent storage timing for the changed data in the backend again.
A hyper loader 100 may receive a backend failure information for at least one backend of one or more backends (S710).

The hyper loader 100 may receive a frontend list including information about one or more frontends from a frontend of one or more frontends (S810).
The hyper loader 100 may establish a connection with another frontend other than a failed frontend based on the frontend list, if at least one frontend of the one or more frontends is failed (S820).
The hyper loader 100 may establish a connection with at least one backend of one or more backends based on a connection with the other frontend (S830).
