Versioning and Consistency in Replica Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Grid Replica systems are gaining foothold in real end user systems, and are used in an increasing number of large scale projects. As such, many of the properties of these systems are well understood. This paper how to handle some minor shortcomings of todays data replica systems, in respect to consistency management, and to their ability to handle derived data sets. We think that both features will allow replica systems to gain wider acceptance in the GIS community.

An Integrated Synchronization and Consistency Protocol for the Implementation of a High-Level Parallel Programming Language
This paper presents experimental results that characterize the performance of the integrated synchronization and consistency protocol used in the implementation of Jade, an implicitly parallel language for coarse-grain parallel computation. The consistency protocol tags each replica of shared data with a version number. The synchronization algorithm computes the correct version numbers of the r...
متن کاملProbabilistically Bounded Staleness for Practical Partial Quorums
Modern storage systems employing quorum replication are often configured to use partial, non-strict quorums. These systems wait only for a subset of their replicas to respond to a request before returning an answer, without guaranteeing that read and write replica sets intersect. While these partial quorum mechanisms provide only basic eventual consistency guarantees, with no limit to the recen...
متن کاملDecentralized Weighted Voting for P2P Data Management1
This paper presents a decentralized variant of David Gifford's classic weighted-voting scheme for managing replicated data. Weighted voting offers a familiar consistency model and supports on-line replica reconfiguration. These properties make it a good fit for applications in the pervasive computing domain. By distributing versioned metadata along with data replicas, and managing access to bot...
متن کاملFile heat-based Self-adaptive Replica Consistency Strategy for Cloud Storage
In cloud storage systems, replica is a key technology, which reduces access time lag, network bandwidth consumption and system unreliability. However, an inadequate replica consistency management mechanism would cause problems for cloud storage systems in the time lag of file access and network bandwidth consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes a self-adaptive replica consistency strategy wh...
متن کاملTunable Replica Consistency for Primary-Backup Replication in Distributed Soft Real-time and Embedded Systems
In systems that use primary-backup replication for fault-tolerance, maintaining system availability after failures refers not just to ensuring the liveness of application functionality at a backup replica but also to ensuring that the state of the promoted backup matches that of the failed primary. Traditionally these availability criteria are realized in middleware through sophisticated algori...
