OpenDNS processes growth from 8 to 10→14 billion queries/day (about 162,000 req/sec) and logs every request, so the stats system uses a two-stage pipeline (stage one buckets by network, stage two aggregates/stores) with stage two written in C++ and MySQL backends. Design choices: SHA1 domain keys, per-user tables, mcached hot set (98% hit in 28 GB), rsync queues, controlled OOM shutdown, Percona InnoDB LRU data dictionary and ~2x throughput gains; system runs in production.
