Abstract: Innovations in the area of server-side processing when committing transactions to disk in a distributed database system can improve computational efficiency at database nodes and/or reduce network bandwidth utilization. For example, when transactions are committed in a database system, at a master node of the database system, a server uses different threads for certain processor-intensive operations and certain I/O-intensive operations. Or, as another example, when transactions are committed in a database system, at a master node of the database system, a server groups jobs for I/O requests.

Abstract: RTR of a database transaction to a replica table may include receiving replication and transaction commit log entries (representing a database transaction). The replication log entry has a row-ID value, and the row at the replica table has a row-ID value. The replication log entry may be dispatched to a parallel log replayer and the associated transaction commit log entry to a transaction commit log replayer. The row-ID values may be compared, and the replication log entry is replayed at the parallel log replayer based on the comparison. The database transaction may then be committed to the replica table by replaying the associated transaction commit log entry at the transaction log replayer, wherein the database transaction is associated with row-level parallel replay having transactional consistency and DDL replication and reconstruction of a DDL statement at the replica system is associated with one or multiple metadata update log entries.

Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating transaction processing within a database environment having a coordinator node, a first worker node, and at least a second worker node. The first worker node sends a request from to the coordinator node for at least a first synchronization token maintained by the coordinator node. The first worker node receives the at least a first synchronization token from the coordinator node. The first worker node assigns the at least a first synchronization token to a snapshot as a snapshot ID value. The snapshot is executed at the first worker node. The first worker node forwards the snapshot ID value to the at least a second worker node.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing synchronization within a database environment. A source host stores multiple database tables and a replica host stores copies of the multiple database tables. During synchronization, replication log replay is blocked at the replica node, and a multithreaded process locks the multiple database tables of the source hosts, reactivates replication log generation for each of the multiple database tables, and then unlocks the database tables. A synchronization timestamp is acquired and used to synchronize the multiple database tables with the copies of the multiple database tables. After synchronization, replication log replay is reactivated at the replica host for the copies of the multiple database tables.

Abstract: A brake lamp control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining whether a deceleration of the vehicle based on regenerative brake through the electric motor is present in a hysteresis period between an off threshold as a reference for turning off a brake lamp and an on threshold as a reference for turning on the brake lamp. When the deceleration of the vehicle is present in the hysteresis period, the method includes determining a state of the brake lamp before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period. In response to determining that the brake lamp is turned on or off for a reason except for the regenerative brake before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period, a request for turning on the brake lamp is set or reset based on the regenerative brake in response to the determined state of the brake lamp.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication of data within a database environment having a source node and a replica node. The source node executes a database operation on at least one database table stored by the source node. The source node asynchronously sends the database operation to the replica node. A prepare commit request is synchronously sent from the source node to the replica node. The source node receives a synchronous precommit acknowledgement from the replica node. The precommit acknowledgement indicates that the database operation was executed at the replica node. The source node commits a transaction associated with the database operation.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication within a database environment. Where a database transaction is replicated at multiple replica nodes, a replica node is selected as a coordinator replica node for the transaction. The other replica node or nodes are designated as follower replica nodes for the transaction. A follower replica node sends the coordinator replica node a precommit notification when the follower replica node has precommitted the transaction. The coordinator replica node sends the follower replica node a postcommit notification to commit the transaction when the transaction has been precommitted by all of the replica nodes to which the transaction is to be replicated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer readable device embodiments for parallel replication of databases across row-store and column-store table formats. An embodiment operates by maintaining a replication log and a storage-level recovery log formatted according to separate respective log formats, logging a record-level SQL execution result, and replicating at least one database table from a primary server to at least one replica server. The primary server and the at least one replica server may each be configured to store data according to one table format of a row-store table format and a column-store table format, such that the primary server's table format is different from the at least one replica server's table format.

Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating database system recovery in a distributed database environment having a master node and at least one slave node. The master node maintains an in-memory reference that includes transaction identifiers and their corresponding commit identifiers. When a slave node requests that a commit identifier be assigned to a transaction, the transaction and commit identifiers for the transaction are added to the in-memory reference. The commit identifier is sent by the master node to the slave node. The slave node writes a log entry to a commit log that includes the transaction identifier and the assigned commit identifier. If the database system is interrupted before the slave node writes the commit log entry, the slave node can request the commit identifier for the transaction from the master node, which retrieves the identifier from the in-memory reference.
