  • Publication number: 20230020330
    Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosure, there is provided a scalable cloud distributed database system for hosting data of multiple database tenants. In some embodiments, the database may be serverless. The serverless database may be configured to automatically and dynamically match resources to workload demands for tenants of the database. Databases described herein may include replica sets hosting multiple tenants. Tenants may be migrated from one replica set to another replica set based on usage. Usage of tenants may be throttled during migration between replica sets. Tenants with lower usage may be selected for migration between replica sets. During migration, files containing both a document and a history of updates to the document may be migrated. Databases described herein may include multiple storage tiers having different read and/or write speeds.

  • Patent number: 11537482
    Abstract: According to some aspects, a database system is provided. The database system may include at least one processor configured to execute a plurality of system components. The plurality of system components may include an interface component configured to receive a read commit command and provide a result, a snapshot component configured to generate a plurality of snapshots of data stored in a first data storage node of a plurality of data storage nodes and identify a committed snapshot representative of data that has been replicated on a majority of the plurality of data storage nodes, and a command processing component configured to read the committed snapshot responsive to receipt of the read commit command and generate the result.

  • Patent number: 11481289
    Abstract: According to some aspects, a database system comprising a processor configured to execute a plurality of system components is provided. The plurality of system components may include an interface component configured to receive a write commit command and provide a write commit confirmation, a snapshot component configured to generate a plurality of snapshots of data stored in a data storage node of a plurality of data storage nodes and identify a committed snapshot representative of data that has been replicated on a majority of the plurality of data storage nodes, and a command processing component configured to modify a data element based on the write commit command, determine whether the majority of the plurality of storage nodes have replicated the modification using the committed snapshot, and generate the write commit confirmation responsive to a determination that the majority of the plurality of data storage nodes have replicated the modification.

  • Patent number: 11222043
    Abstract: A system and method for determining consensus within a distributed database are provided. According to one aspect, a protocol is provided that reduces or eliminates heartbeat communication between nodes of a replica set. Nodes may communicate liveness information using existing database commands and metadata associated with the database commands. According to another aspect, improved systems and methods are provided for detection of node failures and election of a new primary node.
