Title: Scalable Database Systems for a Machine-Dominated World
Abstract:
As machines slowly replace humans as the primary source of data generation and transaction initiators, we enter a new era where data generation and transaction processing increases at the speed of Mooreʼs law, permanently creating a need for scalable data management systems. In this talk, I will present the architecture of two scalable data management systems we have built in my group at Yale: the first is a scalable system optimized for data analysis called HadoopDB that attempts to combine the scalability of batch-processing systems such as Hadoop with the interactive performance of parallel database systems. The talk will overview the ideas from the initial paper on HadoopDB, and then will discuss some recent developments.
The second system is designed for scalable transactional processing, with a particular focus on the hard problem of achieving high throughput in non-partitionable workloads. The basic idea is to replace the concurrency control component of database systems with a deterministic protocol, and use multiple such systems as building blocks for scalable transaction processing. Such an approach enables low-cost consistent replication while improving transactional throughput by eliminating two-phase commit. I will present the basic architecture of the system in addition to some promising early results on transactional processing benchmarks (i.e., TPC-C).
