TLDR
A survey of concurrency control methods for distributed database concurrency can be found in this paper, where the authors decompose the problem into two major subproblems, read-write and write-write synchronization, and describe a series of synchromzation techniques for solving each subproblem.Abstract:
In this paper we survey, consolidate, and present the state of the art in distributed database concurrency control. The heart of our analysts is a decomposition of the concurrency control problem into two major subproblems: read-write and write-write synchronization. We describe a series of synchromzation techniques for solving each subproblem and show how to combine these techniques into algorithms for solving the entire concurrency control problem. Such algorithms are called "concurrency control methods." We describe 48 principal methods, including all practical algorithms that have appeared m the literature plus several new ones. We concentrate on the structure and correctness of concurrency control algorithms. Issues of performance are given only secondary treatment.read more

Zebra: A Striped Network File System
John H. Hartman,John Ousterhout +1 more
TL;DR: Zebra applies ideas from log-structured file system (LFS) and RAID research to network file systems, resulting in a network file system that has scalable performance, uses its servers efficiently even when its applications are using small files, and provides high availability.

Exploiting replication in distributed systems
TL;DR: Techniques are examined for replicating data and execution in directly distributed systems: systems in which multiple processes interact directly with one another while continuously respecting constraints on their joint behavior.

Distributed version management for read-only actions (extended abstract)
TL;DR: This work presents four new concurrency control protocols that eliminate all interference between read-only actions and update actions, and thus offer significantly improved performance for read- only actions.

Reliable distributed database management
TL;DR: A reliable distributed database must manage dispersed and replicated data, making them available to users in spite of hardware failures, and the algorithms and techniques that can achieve this reliability are studied.

Exploring storage class memory with key value stores
TL;DR: Echo is presented, a persistent key-value storage system designed to leverage the advantages and address the challenges of SCM, and demonstrates that Echo's SCM-centric design achieves the durability guarantees of the best disk-based stores with the performance characteristics approaching the best in-memory key- value stores.

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and a distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used to totally order the events.

The notions of consistency and predicate locks in a database system
TL;DR: It is argued that a transaction needs to lock a logical rather than a physical subset of the database, and an implementation of predicate locks which satisfies the consistency condition is suggested.

Monitors: an operating system structuring concept
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop Brinch-Hansen's concept of a monitor as a method of structuring an operating system and describe a possible method of implementation in terms of semaphores and give a suitable proof rule.
