Implementation Imma show you how we do what we do
baby
Doing It Live No aggregate querying
get('/track.gif') do Hit.record(...) TrackGif end
class Hit def record site.atomic_update(site_updates) Resolution.record(self) Technology.record(self) Location.record(self) Referrer.record(self) Content.record(self)
Search.record(self) Notification.record(self) View.record(self) end end
class Resolution def record(hit) query = {'_id' => "..."} update
= {'$inc' => {}} update['$inc']["sx.#{hit.screenx}"] = 1 update['$inc']["bx.#{hit.browserx}"] = 1 update['$inc']["by.#{hit.browsery}"] = 1 collection(hit.created_on) .update(query, update, :upsert => true) end end end

Time Frame Minute, hour, month, day, year, forever?
# of Variations One document vs many
Single Document Per Time Frame
None
{ "t" => 336381, "u" => 158951, "2011" => {
"02" => { "18" => { "t" => 9, "u" => 6 } } } }
{ '$inc' => { 't' => 1, 'u' => 1,
'2011.02.18.t' => 1, '2011.02.18.u' => 1, } }
Single Document For all ranges in time frame
None
{ "_id" =>"...:10", "bx" => { "320" => 85, "480"
=> 318, "800" => 1938, "1024" => 5033, "1280" => 6288, "1440" => 2323, "1600" => 3817, "2000" => 137 }, "by" => { "480" => 2205, "600" => 7359,
"600" => 7359, "768" => 4515, "900" => 3833, "1024"

{ '$inc' => { 'sx.1440' => 1, 'bx.1280' => 1,
'by.768' => 1, } }
Many Documents Search terms, content, referrers...
None
[ { "_id" => "<oid>:<hash>", "t" => "ruby class variables",
"sid" => BSON::ObjectId('<oid>'), "v" => 352 }, { "_id" => "<oid>:<hash>", "t" => "ruby unless", "sid" => BSON::ObjectId('<oid>'), "v" => 347 }, ]
Writes {'_id' => "#{site_id}:#{hash}"}
Reads [['sid', 1], ['v', -1]]
Growth The best laid plans of mice and men
Partition Hot Data Currently using collections for time frames
Bigger, Faster Server More CPU, RAM, Disk Space
Users Sites Content Referrers Terms Engines Resolutions Locations Users Sites
Content Referrers Terms Engines Resolutions Locations
Partition by Function Spread writes across a few servers
Users Sites Content Referrers Terms Engines Resolutions Locations
Partition by Server Spread writes across a ton of servers,
way down the road, not worried yet
