An Enhanced Batch Query Architecture in Real-time Recommendation
Qiang Zhang, Zhipeng Teng, Disheng Wu, Jiayin Wang
In industrial recommendation systems on websites and apps, it is essential to recall and predict top-n results relevant to user interests from a content pool of billions within milliseconds. To cope with continuous data growth and improve real-time recommendation performance, we have designed and implemented a high-performance batch query architecture for real-time recommendation systems. Our contributions include optimizing hash structures with a cacheline-aware probing method to enhance coalesced hashing, as well as the implementation of a hybrid storage key-value service built upon it. Our experiments indicate this approach significantly surpasses conventional hash tables in batch query throughput, achieving up to 90% of the query throughput of random memory access when incorporating parallel optimization. The support for NVMe, integrating two-tier storage for hot and cold data, notably reduces resource consumption. Additionally, the system facilitates dynamic updates, automated sharding of attributes and feature embedding tables, and introduces innovative protocols for consistency in batch queries, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of real-time incremental learning updates. This architecture has been deployed and in use in the bilibili recommendation system for over a year, a video content community with hundreds of millions of users, supporting 10x increase in model computation with minimal resource growth, improving outcomes while preserving the system's real-time performance.
