2 0.72041088 1463 high scalability-2013-05-23-Paper: Calvin: Fast Distributed Transactions for Partitioned Database Systems
Introduction: Distributed transactions are costly because they use agreement protocols . Calvin says, surprisingly, that using a deterministic database allows you to avoid the use of agreement protocols. The approach is to use a deterministic transaction layer that does all the hard work before acquiring locks and the beginning of transaction execution. Overview: Many distributed storage systems achieve high data access throughput via partitioning and replication, each system with its own advantages and tradeoffs. In order to achieve high scalability, however, today’s systems generally reduce transactional support, disallowing single transactions from spanning multiple partitions. Calvin is a practical transaction scheduling and data replication layer that uses a deterministic ordering guarantee to significantly reduce the normally prohibitive contention costs associated with distributed transactions. Unlike previous deterministic database system prototypes, Calvin supports disk-based storage

4 0.69240105 507 high scalability-2009-02-03-Paper: Optimistic Replication
Introduction: To scale in the large you have to partition. Data has to be spread around, replicated, and kept consistent (keeping replicas sufficiently similar to one another despite operations being submitted independently at different sites). The result is a highly available, well performing, and scalable system. Partitioning is required, but it's a pain to do efficiently and correctly. Until Quantum teleportation becomes a reality how data is kept consistent across a bewildering number of failure scenarios is a key design decision. This excellent paper by Yasushi Saito and Marc Shapiro takes us on a wild ride (OK, maybe not so wild) of different approaches to achieving consistency. What's cool about this paper is they go over some real systems that we are familiar with and cover how they work: DNS (single-master, state-transfer), Usenet (multi-master), PDAs (multi-master, state-transfer, manual or application-specific conflict resolution), Bayou (multi-master, operation-transfer, epidemic

Introduction: Skype uses PostgreSQL as their backend database . PostgreSQL doesn't get enough run in the database world so I was excited to see how PostgreSQL is used "as the main DB for most of [Skype's] business needs." Their approach is to use a traditional stored procedure interface for accessing data and on top of that layer proxy servers which hash SQL requests to a set of database servers that actually carry out queries. The result is a horizontally partitioned system that they think will scale to handle 1 billion users. Skype's goal is an architecture that can handle 1 billion plus users. This level of scale isn't practically solvable with one really big computer, so our masked superhero horizontal scaling comes to the rescue. Hardware is dual or quad Opterons with SCSI RAID. Followed common database progression: Start with one DB. Add new databases partitioned by functionality. Replicate read-mostly data for better read access. Then horizontally partition data across multiple nod

Introduction: The world of scalable databases is not a simple one. They come in every race, creed, and color. Rick Cattell has brought some harmony to that world by publishing High Performance Scalable Data Stores , a nicely detailed one stop shop paper comparing scalable databases soley on the content of their character. Ironically, the first step in that evaluation is dividing the world into four groups: Key-value stores: Redis, Scalaris, Voldmort, and Riak. Document stores: Couch DB, MongoDB, and SimpleDB. Record stores: BigTable, HBase, HyperTable, and Cassandra. Scalable RDBMSs: MySQL Cluster, ScaleDB, Drizzle, and VoltDB. The paper describes each system and then compares them on the dimensions of Concurrency Control, Data Storage Replication, Transaction Model, General Comments, Maturity, K-hits, License Language. And the winner is: there are no winners. Yet. Rick concludes by pointing to a great convergence: I believe that a few of these systems will gain critical mass an

Introduction: Wildly popular VC blogger Fred Wilson defines in an excellent 27 minute video the ten most important criteria he uses when deciding to give the gold, that is, fund a web application. Note, this video is from 2010 , so no doubt the ideas are still valid, but the importance of mobile vs web apps has probably shifted to mobile, as Mr. Wilson says in a recent post: mobile is growing like a weed . Speed - speed is more than a feature, it's a requirement. Mainstream users are unforgiving. If something is slow they won't use it. Pingdom is used to track speed across their portfolio. A trend they've noticed is that as an application slows down they don't grow as quickly. Instant Utility - a service must be instantly useful to users. Lengthy setup and configuration is a killer. Tricks like crawling the web to populate information you expect to get from your users later makes the service initially useful. YouTube won, for example, with instant availability of uploaded video.
Introduction: If Google was a boxer then MapReduce would be a probing right hand that sets up the massive left hook that is Dremel , Google's—scalable (thousands of CPUs, petabytes of data, trillions of rows), SQL based, columnar, interactive (results returned in seconds), ad-hoc—analytics system. If Google was a magician then MapReduce would be the shiny thing that distracts the mind while the trick goes unnoticed. I say that because even though Dremel has been around internally at Google since 2006, we have not heard a whisper about it. All we've heard about is MapReduce, clones of which have inspired entire new industries. Tricky . Dremel, according to Brian Bershad, Director of Engineering at Google, is targeted at solving BigData class problems : While we all know that systems are huge and will get even huger, the implications of this size on programmability, manageability, power, etc. is hard to comprehend. Alfred noted that the Internet is predicted to be carrying a zetta-byte (10 21

Introduction: Update 3: Presentation from the NoSQL Conference : slides , video . Update 2: Jim Wilson helps with the Understanding HBase and BigTable by explaining them from a "conceptual standpoint." Update: InfoQ interview: HBase Leads Discuss Hadoop, BigTable and Distributed Databases . "MapReduce (both Google's and Hadoop's) is ideal for processing huge amounts of data with sizes that would not fit in a traditional database. Neither is appropriate for transaction/single request processing." Hbase is the open source answer to BigTable, Google's highly scalable distributed database. It is built on top of Hadoop ( product ), which implements functionality similar to Google's GFS and Map/Reduce systems. Both Google's GFS and Hadoop's HDFS provide a mechanism to reliably store large amounts of data. However, there is not really a mechanism for organizing the data and accessing only the parts that are of interest to a particular application. Bigtable (and Hbase) provide a means for
