Abstract

An adaptive replica consistency mechanism is proposed based on consistency requirements, including update consistency and reconciliation strategy. System regulates replica consistency mechanism dynamically according to consistency requirements so that a dynamic balance between consistency, availability, and system performance is achieved. Evaluation results show that the proposed mechanism decreases the amount of operation significantly while guarantees consistency requirements and promotes replica availability.
