Exploiting Synchrony in Replicated State Machines
2017
We present Timestamp Order Preserving (TOP), a replicated state machine (RSM) protocol that exploits the synchrony of networks to provide high performance. TOP uses physical timestamp of synchronized clock as a consistent total order to achieve consensus. It keeps estimating the bounds of network latency and offset of synchronized clock to deduce the commit time for each operation. It adopts speculative processing and reconciliation techniques to improve performance. To demonstrate its advantages, we implement a key-value data store that uses TOP for data replication. Through evaluations in a geo-deployed testbed, by comparing it with Primary-Copy and Quorum-Replication protocols, we demonstrate that TOP has a similar commit latency with a higher sustainable throughput. In addition, it processes operations in the order of submission timestamp, which provides a stricter form of consistency.
