Calvin - Determinism, Distributed ACID transactions (2020)
Calvin is a transaction scheduling and replication protocol designed for distributed ACID transactions. It utilizes a deterministic locking mechanism, which eliminates the need for an atomic commit protocol, thus reducing contention in distributed transactions. This article focuses on Calvin's approach compared to other solutions like Spanner.
- ▪Calvin provides distributed ACID transactions for partitioned and replicated systems.
- ▪The protocol's deterministic nature removes the need for 2-Phase Commit, leading to lower contention.
- ▪Calvin aims to achieve serializability while allowing parallel execution of unrelated transactions.
