Paper Trail » Blog Archive » Consensus Protocols: Two-Phase Commit: "The worst case scenario is when the co-ordinator is itself a participant, and grants itself a vote on the outcome of the protocol. Then a crash to the co-ordinator takes out both it and a participant, guaranteeing that the protocol will remain blocked, and as a result of only one failure."

Paper Trail » Blog Archive » Consensus Protocols: Two-Phase Commit: "For the next few articles here, I’m going to write about one of the most fundamental concepts in distributed computing – of equal importance to the theory and practice communities. The consensus problem is the problem of getting a set of nodes in a distributed system to agree on something – it might be a value, a course of action or a decision. Achieving consensus allows a distributed system to act as a single entity, with every individual node aware of and in agreement with the actions of the whole of the network."
The NewSQL Movement
The NewSQL Movement: "We talk often about various types of NoSQL databases - document stores like Apache CouchDB, graph databases like Neo4j and BigTable clones like Hbase. But we also occasionally talk about various attempts to improve the tried and true relational database model - projects like Drizzle (coverage), HandlerSocket (coverage), RethinkDB (coverage), TokuTek (coverage) and VoltDB (coverage).
CiteSeerX — Venti: A New Approach to Archival Storage
CiteSeerX — Venti: A New Approach to Archival Storage: "This paper describes a network storage system, called Venti, intended for archival data. In this system, a unique hash of a block's contents acts as the block identifier for read and write operations. This approach enforces a write-once policy, preventing accidental or malicious destruction of data. In addition, duplicate copies of a block can be coalesced, reducing the consumption of storage and simplifying the implementation of clients. Venti is a building block for constructing a variety of storage applications such as logical backup, physical backup, and snapshot file systems."
