Zatara, the Plug-in-able Eventually Consistent Distributed Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the proliferation of the computer Cloud, new software delivery methods were created. In order to build software to fit into one of these models, a scalable, easy to deploy storage tier is required. Distributed, non-SQL databases use multiple techniques to distribute information, guarantee data consistency and grow, but unfortunately most developments were designed with a single class of applications in mind, which means that they bring many constraints for developers. Existent solutions range from simple key-value databases to more complex approaches usually developed for data indexing. Our approach is a multi-purpose, distributed database engine that features an abstract query interface and plug-in-able internal data structures. The database, called ZATARA, is tested on an Amazon EC2 infrastructure with 196 nodes. In this environment it is able to deliver more than 20 million transactions per second, scaling almost linearly with the number of nodes. From the performance point of view, these results demonstrate our initial assumptions that it is not necessary to expose a particular data structure in order for the database to scale. Although Zatara cannot replace SQL databases in all deployments, it provides sufficient flexibility to make it a viable choice for most applications that have to scale indefinitely. Also, it can be used as a caching system in order to reduce load on the SQL tier, in these scenario being trivial to add it to an existing application.

Effect of Impact Parameters on Explosive Welding of Tube to a Plug
Effects of some important parameters like impactor effects, plug geometry and initiation points on bonding aluminum tubes to aluminum plugs were studied. The impact velocity and dynamic angle between tube and plug should be precisely managed to achieve an optimum bonding condition. A new explosive bonding technique with the use of two material impactors was proposed. Results are especially suit...
متن کاملFavorable Plug Shape of an Aerospike Nozzle in Design, Over and Under Expansion Conditions
The influence of the plug shape on the performance of an aerospike nozzle thrust force is studied in different back pressure conditions. To generate smooth plug contours, Cubic B-Spline technique is employed. In the current research, basis functions are obtained using Deboor’s relation. The flow field around the aerospike nozzle is investigated implementing various shapes and the best of the ge...
متن کاملSeparating indexes from data: a distributed scheme for secure database outsourcing
Database outsourcing is an idea to eliminate the burden of database management from organizations. Since data is a critical asset of organizations, preserving its privacy from outside adversary and untrusted server should be warranted. In this paper, we present a distributed scheme based on storing shares of data on different servers and separating indexes from data on a distinct server. Shamir...
متن کاملA Critique of the CAP Theorem
The CAP Theorem is a frequently cited impossibility result in distributed systems, especially among NoSQL distributed databases. In this paper we survey some of the confusion about the meaning of CAP, including inconsistencies and ambiguities in its definitions, and we highlight some problems in its formalization. CAP is often interpreted as proof that eventually consistent databases have bette...
متن کاملA Distributed Architecture for Remote Service
Service discovery is very important in realizing the concept of pervasive computing. Consequently, service discovery protocols must be able to work in the heterogeneous environment offered by pervasive computing. Remote service discovery in particular has not been properly achieved so far. In an attempt to remedy this we propose a new architecture for enabling typical (local) service discovery ...
