Major Questions
- Latency? And apps that drive low latency?
Points of agreement
Apps
- Facebook++, High volume txns (visa, fraud), Mapreduce, virtual worlds
Goals
- 1M req/sec/server
- Backups on nonvolatile storage
- Assume power outages are solved
- Commodity hardware
- Cost effective (per request, per byte)
Data Model
- Blobs, tables indices
- Opaque data, system understands indices
- Applications, which are collections of tables
Client-Server Functions
- No compute on storage servers
- Sorting may be a query function thus servers may play a role
Security
- Protect separate applications
- Guarantee privacy & integrity of packets
- Avoid per byte crypto
- Charge for DoS attacks
