TLDR
D Dynamo is presented, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience and makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.Abstract:
Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web sites worldwide, is implemented on top of an infrastructure of tens of thousands of servers and network components located in many datacenters around the world. At this scale, small and large components fail continuously and the way persistent state is managed in the face of these failures drives the reliability and scalability of the software systems.This paper presents the design and implementation of Dynamo, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience. To achieve this level of availability, Dynamo sacrifices consistency under certain failure scenarios. It makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.read more

Cementing high availability in openflow with RuleBricks
Dan Williams,Hani Jamjoom +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents RuleBricks, a system for flexibly embedding high availability support in existing OpenFlow policies, and describes how these primitives can express various flow assignment and backup policies, demonstrating the one offered by the Chord protocol.
Alluxio: A Virtual Distributed File System
TL;DR: This dissertation proposes an architecture to have a Virtual Distributed File System (VDFS) as a new layer between the compute layer and the storage layer, and achieves these goals through an implementation of VDFS called Alluxio (formerly Tachyon), which presents a set of disparate data stores as a single file system.

Middleware design for integrating relational database and NOSQL based on data dictionary
TL;DR: A method is proposed to integrate these two types of database by adding middleware between application layer and database layer, which would provide an unified interface and shield underlying data distribution for the applications, meet the need of horizontal scalability without affecting the application logic implementation.

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.
