SYNCHRONOUS DATABASE REPLICATION USING ERASURE CODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240330320 titled 'SYNCHRONOUS DATABASE REPLICATION USING ERASURE CODING
Simplified Explanation: The abstract describes a method of performing synchronous replication for a distributed database system using an erasure coding scheme. When a write request is received for a database hosted in the system, a replication message is generated, divided, and encoded into multiple chunks. These chunks are then sent to another database instance, where the replication message is reassembled and the write is committed.
- Utilizes erasure coding scheme for synchronous replication in a distributed database system
- Generates replication message, divides it into chunks, and encodes them for efficient transmission
- Chunks are sent to another database instance for reassembly and write commitment
Potential Applications: - Cloud computing platforms - Data centers - Disaster recovery systems
Problems Solved: - Ensures data consistency across distributed database system - Improves fault tolerance and reliability - Facilitates efficient replication of data in real-time
Benefits: - Enhanced data protection - Reduced risk of data loss - Improved system performance and reliability
Commercial Applications: Title: "Erasure Coding Scheme for Synchronous Replication in Distributed Database Systems" This technology can be applied in cloud computing platforms to ensure data consistency and reliability. It can also be used in data centers for efficient replication and disaster recovery systems for enhanced fault tolerance.
Prior Art: Prior research in the field of distributed database systems and erasure coding schemes can provide valuable insights into similar technologies and approaches.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in erasure coding schemes, distributed database systems, and synchronous replication techniques to enhance the efficiency and reliability of data replication processes.

Original Abstract Submitted
synchronous replication for a distributed database system may be performed using an erasure coding scheme. a request that causes a write to a database hosted in a distributed database system is received. a replication message for a synchronous replication technique is generated, then divided and encoded into a number of chunks according to an erasure encoding scheme that allows the replication message to be reassembled with less than the number of chunks. the chunks are sent to another instance of the database which receives and reassembles the replication message from the chunks and responds to acknowledge that the write is committed.
