  1. Cloud Storage Consistency … Explained through Baseball Doug Terry Microsoft Research Silicon Valley

  2. Data Replication in the Cloud Question: What consistency choices should cloud storage systems offer applications?

  3. Some Popular Systems • Amazon S3 – eventual consistency • Amazon Simple DB – eventual or strong • Google App Engine – strong or eventual • Yahoo! PNUTS – eventual or strong • Windows Azure Storage – strong (or eventual) • Cassandra – eventual or strong (if R+W > N) • ...

  4. A Spectrum of Consistency Strong Consistency Intermediate Consistency Eventual Consistency Lots of consistencies proposed in research community: probabilistic quorums, session guarantees, epsilon serializability, fork consistency, causal consistency, demarcation, continuous consistency, ...

  5. My FavoriteRead Consistency Guarantees

  6. Comparing Consistency strength Strong metric = set of allowable read results Prefix Bounded Monotonic RMW Eventual

  7. Consistency Trade-offs performance consistency availability

  8. The Game of Baseball for inning = 1 .. 9 outs = 0; while outs < 3 visiting player bats; for each run scored score = Read (“visitors”); Write (“visitors”, score + 1); outs = 0; while outs < 3 home player bats; for each run scored score = Read (“home”); Write (“home”, score + 1); end game;

  9. Official Scorekeeper Desired consistency? Strong = Read My Writes! score = Read (“visitors”); Write (“visitors”, score + 1);

  10. Umpire Desired consistency? Strong consistency if middle of 9th inning then vScore = Read (“visitors”); hScore = Read (“home”); if vScore < hScore end game;

  11. Radio Reporter do { BeginTx(); vScore = Read (“visitors”); hScore = Read (“home”); EndTx(); report vScore and hScore; sleep (30 minutes); } Desired consistency? Consistent Prefix Monotonic Reads or Bounded Staleness

  12. Sportswriter While not end of game { drink beer; smoke cigar; } go out to dinner; vScore = Read (“visitors”); hScore = Read (“home”); write article; Desired consistency? Eventual? Strong = Bounded Staleness

  13. Statistician Desired consistency? Strong Consistency (1st read) Read My Writes (2nd read) Wait for end of game; score = Read (“home”); stat = Read (“season-runs”); Write (“season-runs”, stat + score);

  14. Stat Watcher Desired consistency? Eventual Consistency do { stat = Read (“season-runs”); discuss stats with friends; sleep (1 day); }

  15. Read My Writes Official scorekeeper: score = Read (“visitors”); Write(“visitors”, score + 1); Statistician: Wait for end of game; score = Read (“home”); stat = Read (“season-runs”); Write (“season-runs”, stat + score); Umpire: if middle of 9th inning then vScore= Read (“visitors”); hScore = Read (“home”); if vScore < hScore end game; Radio reporter: do { vScore = Read (“visitors”); hScore = Read (“home”); report vScore and hScore; sleep (30 minutes); } Sportswriter: While not end of game { drink beer; smoke cigar; } go out to dinner; vScore= Read (“visitors”); hScore = Read (“home”); write article; Stat watcher: stat = Read (“season-runs”); discuss stats with friends; Bounded Staleness Strong Consistency Strong Consistency Read My Writes Consistent Prefix Monotonic Reads Eventual Consistency

  16. Conclusions • Replication schemes involve tradeoffs between consistency, performance, and availability • Consistency choices can benefit applications • But we, the research community, must provide better definitions, analysis, and tools
