The Paxon parliament's protocol provides a new way of implementing the state machine approach to the design of distributed systems.
Abstract
Recent archaeological discoveries on the island of Paxos reveal that the parliament functioned despite the peripatetic propensity of its part-time legislators. The legislators maintained consistent copies of the parliamentary record, despite their frequent forays from the chamber and the forgetfulness of their messengers. The Paxon parliament's protocol provides a new way of implementing the state machine approach to the design of distributed systems.

Stable Leader Election

TL;DR: The notion of stable leader election is introduced and several algorithms for this problem are derived that ensure that once a leader is elected, it remains the leader for as long as it does not crash and its links have been behaving well, irrespective of the behavior of other processes and links.

P4FPGA: A Rapid Prototyping Framework for P4

TL;DR: P4FPGA is an open-source compiler and runtime that combines high-level programming abstractions offered by P4 with a flexible and powerful hardware target and allows developers to rapidly prototype and deploy new data plane applications.

On implementing omega with weak reliability and synchrony assumptions

TL;DR: This work studies the feasibility and cost of implementing Ω---a fundamental failure detector at the core of many algorithms---in systems with weak reliability and synchrony assumptions, and gives an algorithm for Ω such that eventually only one process (the elected leader) sends messages.

TiDB: a Raft-based HTAP database

TL;DR: This work designs a Raftbased HTAP database, TiDB, and builds an SQL engine to process large-scale distributed transactions and expensive analytical queries and includes a powerful analysis engine, TiSpark, to help TiDB connect to the Hadoop ecosystem.

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.

Impossibility of distributed consensus with one faulty process

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that every protocol for this problem has the possibility of nontermination, even with only one faulty process.

Concurrency Control and Recovery in Database Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the design and implementation of concurrency control and recovery mechanisms for transaction management in centralized and distributed database systems is described. But this can lead to interference between queries and updates.

Implementing fault-tolerant services using the state machine approach: a tutorial

TL;DR: The state machine approach is a general method for implementing fault-tolerant services in distributed systems and protocols for two different failure models—Byzantine and fail stop are described.
