| Abstract | Distributed data systems systems are used in a variety of settings like online serving, offline analytics, data transport, and search, among other use cases. They let organizations scale out their workloads using cost-effective commodity hardware, while retaining key properties like fault tolerance and scalability. At LinkedIn we have built a number of such systems. A key pattern we observe is that even though they may serve different purposes, they tend to have a lot of common functionality, and tend to use common building blocks in their architectures. One such building block that is just beginning to receive attention is cluster management, which addresses the complexity of handling a dynamic, large-scale system with many servers. Such systems must handle software and hardware failures, setup tasks such as bootstrapping data, and operational issues such as data placement, load balancing, planned upgrades, and cluster expansion. All of this shared complexity, which we see in all of our systems, motivates us to build a cluster management framework, Helix, to solve these problems once in a general way. Helix provides an abstraction for a system developer to separate coordination and management tasks from component functional tasks of a distributed system. The developer defines the system behavior via a state model that enumerates the possible states of each component, the transitions between those states, and constraints that govern the system's valid settings. Helix does the heavy lifting of ensuring the system satisfies that state model in the distributed setting, while also meeting the system's goals on load balancing and throttling state changes. We detail several Helix-managed production distributed systems at LinkedIn and how Helix has helped them avoid building custom management components. We describe the Helix design and implementation and present an experimental study that demonstrates its performance and functionality. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
