Publication date: 1 de June, 2021Coordination Avoidance in Distributed Databases
The rise of Internet-scale geo-replicated services has led to considerable upheaval in the design of modern data management systems. Namely, given the availability, latency, and throughput penalties associated with classic mechanisms such as serializable transactions, a broad class of systems (e.g., “NoSQL”) has sought weaker alternatives that reduce the use of expensive coordination during system operation, often at the cost of application integrity. When can we safely forego the cost of this expensive coordination, and when must we pay the price?

| Host Bio | Peter Bailis is a Ph.D. candidate at UC Berkeley working in databases and distributed systems. As part of his dissertation work, he has studied and built high performance distributed data management systems for large scale transaction processing, data serving, and statistical analytics in the AMPLab and BOOM projects under the advisement of Joseph M. Hellerstein, Ali Ghodsi, and Ion Stoica. He is the recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the Berkeley Fellowship for Graduate Study, and best-of-conference citations for research appearing in both SIGMOD and VLDB. He received his A.B. in Computer Science from Harvard College in 2011, where he also received the CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award. |
