Abstract
Cassandra is a distributed storage system for managing very large amounts of structured data spread out across many commodity servers, while providing highly available service with no single point of failure. Cassandra aims to run on top of an infrastructure of hundreds of nodes (possibly spread across different data centers). At this scale, small and large components fail continuously. The way Cassandra manages the persistent state in the face of these failures drives the reliability and scalability of the software systems relying on this service. While in many ways Cassandra resembles a database and shares many design and implementation strategies therewith, Cassandra does not support a full relational data model; instead, it provides clients with a simple data model that supports dynamic control over data layout and format. Cassandra system was designed to run on cheap commodity hardware and handle high write throughput while not sacrificing read efficiency.

BloomStore: Bloom-Filter based memory-efficient key-value store for indexing of data deduplication on flash

TL;DR: This paper proposes efficient KV store on flash with a Bloom Filter based index structure called BloomStore, which achieves a significantly better key lookup performance and roughly the same insertion performance with multiple times less RAM usage based on experiments with deduplication workloads.

YCSB+T: Benchmarking web-scale transactional databases

TL;DR: YCSB+T is described, an extension of YCSB, that wraps database operations within transactions that wraps transaction support in NoSQL databases, and the experience with using CEW to evaluate some NoSQL systems is shared.

Implementing linearizability at large scale and low latency

TL;DR: RIFL provides a general-purpose mechanism for converting at-least-once RPC semantics to exactly-once semantics, thereby making it easy to turn non-linearizable operations into linearizable ones and is designed for large-scale systems and is lightweight enough to be used in low-latency environments.

MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters

TL;DR: This presentation explains how the underlying runtime system automatically parallelizes the computation across large-scale clusters of machines, handles machine failures, and schedules inter-machine communication to make efficient use of the network and disks.
