Paxos Made Live - An Engineering Perspective (2006 Invited Talk)
Abstract
We describe our experience in building a fault-tolerant data-base using
the Paxos consensus algorithm. Despite the existing literature in
the field, building such a database proved to be non-trivial. We
describe selected algorithmic and engineering problems encountered,
and the solutions we found for them. Our measurements indicate that
we have built a competitive system.
