Tango

Tango anyone?

Found an interesting research paper, here's the abstract. Link to paper below.

" Distributed systems are easier to build than ever with the
emergence of new, data-centric abstractions for storing
and computing over massive datasets. However, similar
abstractions do not exist for storing and accessing metadata.
To fill this gap, Tango provides developers with
the abstraction of a replicated, in-memory data structure
(such as a map or a tree) backed by a shared log.
Tango objects are easy to build and use, replicating state
via simple append and read operations on the shared
log instead of complex distributed protocols; in the process,
they obtain properties such as linearizability, persistence
and high availability from the shared log. Tango
also leverages the shared log to enable fast transactions
across different objects, allowing applications to partition
state across machines and scale to the limits of the
underlying log without sacrificing consistency."
