Strong replication in the GLOBDATA middleware
نویسندگان
چکیده
GLOBDATA is a project that aims to design and implement a middleware tool offering the abstraction of a global object database repository. This tool, called COPLA, supports transactional access to geographically distributed persistent objects independent of their location. Additionally, it supports replication of data according to different consistency criteria. For this purpose, COPLA implements a number of consistency protocols offering different tradeoffs between performance and fault-tolerance. This paper presents the work on strong consistency protocols for the GLOBDATA system. Two protocols are presented: a voting protocol and a non-voting protocol. Both these protocols rely on the use of atomic broadcast as a building block to serialize conflicting transactions. The paper also introduces the total order protocol being developed to support large-scale replication.

A Replica Consistency Algorithm For GlobData
This thesis addresses the problem of replica management in a distributed objectoriented database system. It presents a protocol to ensure data consistency across the different nodes of the system. This protocol relies on recent advances in group communication techniques, and on the use of atomic broadcast as a building block to help serialize conflicting transactions. The protocol was implement...

متن کاملGlobData: A Platform for Supporting Multiple Consistency Modes
GlobData is a platform that provides an object-oriented view of wide-area-networked relational databases with replicated data for ensuring high availability. We discuss the embedding of protocols in GlobData, for maintaining the consistency of replications. The protocols are able to alternate between three different modes of consistency. Modes can be changed on-line and per session, i.e., GlobD...
متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
متن کاملMiddleware Support for Locality-aware Wide area Replication
Coherent wide-area data caching can improve the scalability and responsiveness of distributed services such as wide-area le access, database and directory services, and content distribution. However, distributed services differ widely in the frequency of read/write sharing, the amount of contention between clients for the same data, and their ability to make tradeoffs between consistency and av...
