Abstract
We investigate the design of a coordinator for a cluster of databases.
We consider the following alternatives:
TP-Heavy using the TUXEDO TP-monitor,
TP-Lite with the ORACLE8 database system, and a
TP-Less coordinator implemented in Embedded SQL/C++.
In particular, we investigate the scalability of full replication.
We assume that update actions on all replica are executed either
synchronously or asynchronously. It turns out that the
TP-Less approach outperforms commercial TP-middleware for
small cluster sizes already. Another observation is that
asynchronous updates are the preferred option compared to
synchronous updates. The conclusion is that a transaction protocol
at the second layer must be replication-aware.
