16.19.2.Replication Topologies

Typical replication topologies are Chains, Stars and Bi-directional. They can be achieved with Virtuoso, by repeating the "Publish" and/or "Subscribe" steps on each relevant node.

Star Replication Topology

In a Star, there is one Publisher, and many Subscribers.

Figure16.202.Star Replication Topology

Star Replication Topology

To set up a Star, follow the scenario:

  1. Configure Instance #1 to Publish.

  2. Configure Instance #2 to Subscribe to #1.

  3. Repeat as necessary.

Star Replication Topology Example

The following How-To walks you through setting up Virtuoso RDF Graph Replication in a Star Topology.

Prerequisites
Database INI Parameters

Suppose there are 3 Virtuoso instances respectively with the following ini parameters values:

  1. virtuoso1.ini:

    ...
    [Database]
    DatabaseFile    = virtuoso1.db
    TransactionFile = virtuoso1.trx
    ErrorLogFile     = virtuoso1.log
    ...
    [Parameters]
    ServerPort               = 1111
    SchedulerInterval        = 1
    ...
    [HTTPServer]
    ServerPort                  = 8891
    ...
    [URIQA]
    DefaultHost = example.com:8891
    ...
    [Replication]
    ServerName   = db1
    ...
    
    
  2. virtuoso2.ini:

    ...
    [Database]
    DatabaseFile    = virtuoso2.db
    TransactionFile = virtuoso2.trx
    ErrorLogFile     = virtuoso2.log
    ...
    [Parameters]
    ServerPort               = 1112
    SchedulerInterval        = 1
    ...
    [HTTPServer]
    ServerPort                  = 8892
    ...
    [URIQA]
    DefaultHost = localhost:8892
    ...
    [Replication]
    ServerName   = db2
    ...
    
  3. virtuoso3.ini:

    ...
    [Database]
    DatabaseFile    = virtuoso3.db
    TransactionFile = virtuoso3.trx
    ErrorLogFile     = virtuoso3.log
    ...
    [Parameters]
    ServerPort               = 1113
    SchedulerInterval        = 1
    ...
    [HTTPServer]
    ServerPort                  = 8893
    ...
    [URIQA]
    DefaultHost = example.com:8893
    ...
    [Replication]
    ServerName   = db3
    ...
    
Database DSNs

Use the ODBC Administrator on your Virtuoso host (e.g., on Windows, Start menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC); on Mac OS X, /Applications/Utilities/OpenLink ODBC Administrator.app) to create a System DSN for each of db1, db2, db3, with names db1, db2 and db3, respectively.

Install Conductor package

On each of the 3 Virtuoso instances install the conductor_dav.vad package.

Create a Publication on the Host Virtuoso Instance db1
  1. Go to Conductor -> Replication -> Transactional -> Publications

    Figure16.203.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  2. Click Enable RDF Publishing

  3. A publication with the name RDF Publication should be created:

    Figure16.204.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  4. Click the link which is the publication name.

  5. You will be shown the publication items page:

    Figure16.205.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  6. Enter for Graph IRI:

Insert Data into a Named Graph on the Host Virtuoso Instance

There are several ways to insert data into a Virtuoso Named Graph. In this example, we will use the Virtuoso Conductor's Import RDF feature:

  1. In the Virtuoso Conductor, go to Linked Data -> Quad Store Upload:

    Figure16.208.Replication Topology

    Replication Topology

  2. In the form:

    • Tick the box for Resource URL and enter your resource URL, for e.g.:

      http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this
      
    • Enter for Named Graph IRI:

      http://example.org
      

    Figure16.209.Replication Topology

    Replication Topology

  3. Click Upload

  4. A successful upload will result in this message:

    Figure16.210.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  5. Check the inserted triples by executing a query like the following against the SPARQL endpoint, http://cname:port/sparql:

    SELECT *
      FROM <http://example.org>
     WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
    

    Figure16.211.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  6. See how many triples have been inserted in your graph:

    SELECT COUNT(*)
      FROM <http://example.org>
     WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
    

    Figure16.212.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

Subscribe to the Publication on the a Destination Virtuoso Instance db2, db3, etc.
  1. Go to Conductor -> Replication -> Transactional -> Subscriptions

    Figure16.213.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  2. Click New Subscription

    Figure16.214.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  3. Specify a new Data Source Enter or selected target data source from the available connected Data Sources:

    Figure16.215.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

    Figure16.216.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  4. Click Publications list

    Figure16.217.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  5. Select the RDF Publication and click List Items

    Figure16.218.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  6. Click Subscribe

  7. The subscription will be created

    Figure16.219.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  8. Click Sync

  9. Check the retrieved triples by executing the following query

    SELECT *
      FROM <http://example.org>
     WHERE {?s ?p ?o}
    

    Figure16.220.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

  10. See how many triples have been inserted into your graph by executing the following query:

    SELECT COUNT(*)
      FROM <http://example.org>
     WHERE {?s ?p ?o}
    

    Figure16.221.Star Replication Topology

    Star Replication Topology

These steps may be repeated for any number of Subscriber.

Insert Triples into the Host Virtuoso Instance Graph and check availability at Destination Virtuoso Instance Graph
  1. To check the starting count, on the Destination Virtuoso Instance SPARQL Endpoint, execute:

    SELECT COUNT(*)
      FROM <http://example.org>
     WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
    
  2. On the Host Virtuoso Instance go to Conductor -> Database -> Interactive SQL and execute the following statement:

    SPARQL INSERT INTO GRAPH <http://example.org>
      {
         <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this>
         <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/interest>
         <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Web_Services>
      } ;
    SPARQL INSERT INTO GRAPH <http://example.org>
      {
        <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this>
        <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/interest>
        <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Web_Clients>
      } ;
    SPARQL INSERT INTO GRAPH <http://example.org>
      {
        <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this>
        <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/interest>
        <http://dbpedia.org/resource/SPARQL>
      } ;

  3. To confirm that the triple count has increased by the number of inserted triples, execute the following on the Destination Virtuoso Instance SPARQL Endpoint:

    SELECT COUNT(*)
      FROM <http://example.org>
     WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
    

    Figure16.224.Star Replication Topology

Chain Replication Topology

In a Chain, there is one original Publisher, to which there is only one Subscriber. That Subscriber may also serve as a Publisher, again with only one Subscriber. The chain ends with a Subscriber which does not Publish.

Figure16.225.Chain Replication Topology

Chain Replication Topology

To set up a Chain, follow the scenario:

  1. Configure Instance #1 to Publish.

  2. Configure Instance #2 to Subscribe to #1.

  3. Configure Instance #2 to Publish.

  4. Configure Instance #3 to Subscribe to #2.

  5. Repeat as necessary.
