Optimistic Causal Consistency for Geo-Replicated Key-Value Stores

Causal consistency (CC) is an attractive consistency model for geo-replicated data stores because it hits a sweet spot in the ease-of-programming versus performance trade-off. We present a new approach for implementing CC in geo-replicated data stores, whi ...

Efficient Protocols for Enforcing Causal Consistency in Geo-Replicated Key-Value Data Stores

Kristina Spirovska

Modern large-scale data platforms manage colossal amount of data, generated by the ever-increasing number of concurrent users. Geo-replicated and sharded key-value data stores play a central role when building such platforms. As the strongest consistency m ...

PaRiS: Causally Consistent Transactions with Non-blocking Reads and Partial Replication

Willy Zwaenepoel, Kristina Spirovska, Diego Didona

Geo-replicated data platforms are the backbone of several large-scale online services. Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) is an attractive consistency level for building such platforms. TCC avoids many anomalies of eventual consistency, eschews the syn ...

Wren: Nonblocking Reads in a Partitioned Transactional Causally Consistent Data Store

Willy Zwaenepoel, Kristina Spirovska, Diego Didona

Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) extends causal consistency, the strongest consistency model compatible with availability, with interactive read-write transactions, and is therefore particularly appealing for geo-replicated platforms. This paper pres ...

Optimistic Causal Consistency for Geo-Replicated Key-Value Stores

Willy Zwaenepoel, Kristina Spirovska, Diego Didona

In this paper we present a new approach to implementing causal consistency in geo-replicated data stores, which we call Optimistic Causal Consistency (OCC). The optimism in our approach lies in that updates from a remote data center are immediately made vi ...
