Today I'm reading about the PNUTS distributed database that was developed by Yahoo. I'm giving the PNUTS paper pass 1:3, and reading some background material I found on highscalability about the database.
The paper:
- PNUTS: Yahoo!’s Hosted Data Serving Platform
Background articles:
- Highscalability: Yahoo!'s PNUTS Database: Too Hot, Too Cold Or Just Right?
- Yahoo research: PNUTS - Platform for Nimble Universal Table Storage
- Idleprocess: Yahoo!’s Geo-Replication Service, PNUTS
My conclusions about PNUTS:
- See the HS article instead. It's a nice summary of the properties of PNUTS.
