Course Notes (Part 1)

  1. Understanding database development trends from multiple perspectives such as time, data volume, and architectural evolution

  2. Understanding that distributed relational databases are future-oriented databases

  3. Intrinsic drivers of database technology development: business growth (data volume), scenario innovation (data model and interaction efficiency), hardware and cloud computing development

  4. Database architecture: single node, shared state, distributed

  5. RDBMS → NoSQL (Not only SQL) → NewSQL → HTAP

  6. Segmentation of data technology and integration of data services

  7. Trade-Off (choices and balances)

  8. 1965, Gordon Moore, the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every 18 months.

  9. 2006, Google’s GFS, Bigtable, MapReduce

  10. Divide and conquer in distributed systems

  11. Main challenges of distributed technology

    1. How to maximize divide and conquer

    2. How to achieve global consistency

    3. How to handle fault tolerance and partial failures

    4. How to deal with unreliable networks and network partitions

  12. CAP Theorem

    1. C Consistency

    2. A Availability

    3. P Partition Tolerance

  13. Relational model and transactions

    1. A Atomicity

    2. C Consistency

    3. I Isolation

    4. D Durability

  14. NewSQL (natively distributed relational database) = distributed system + SQL + transactions

  15. 2013, Google, Spanner paper, F1 paper

  16. 2014, Raft paper implementing industrial-grade distributed consistency protocol

  17. TiDB, open-source, natively distributed relational database, HTAP

  18. Open source: a best path to success for foundational software (tends to be general and standardized)

  19. Open source: open source code, open attitude, open source ecosystem governance

  20. Designing a distributed relational database

    1. Scalability (elastic, write-oriented)

    2. Strong consistency, high availability (RPO=0, RTO small enough)

    3. Standard SQL supporting ACID transactions

    4. Cloud-native

    5. HTAP (integration of OLAP and OLTP under massive data, hybrid row-column)

    6. Compatibility with mainstream ecosystems and protocols

  21. Common foundational factors in the data technology stack

    1. Data model

    2. Data storage and retrieval structure

    3. Data format

    4. Storage engine

    5. Replication protocol

    6. Distributed transaction model

    7. Data architecture

    8. Optimizer algorithm

    9. Execution engine

    10. Computing engine

  22. Development of hardware, especially networks, has driven the separation of computing and storage architecture

  23. Highly layered architecture of TiDB

Is there an exam for this as well?
