Spanner: Google's Globally-Distributed Database
http://j.mp/Ot0q9M (Google Research)
"Spanner is Google's scalable, multi-version, globally-distributed, and
synchronously-replicated database. It is the first system to
distribute data at global scale and support externally-consistent
distributed transactions. This paper describes how Spanner is
structured, its feature set, the rationale underlying various design
decisions, and a novel time API that exposes clock uncertainty. This
API and its implementation are critical to supporting external
consistency and a variety of powerful features: non-blocking reads in
the past, lock-free read-only transactions, and atomic schema changes,
across all of Spanner."
