Schism: a Workload-Driven Approach to Database Replication and Partitioning

Summary: Schism is a workload-aware, graph-based partitioning/replication framework for shared-nothing DBs, reducing cross-partition transactions while balancing load. A two-phase approach: graph-driven partitioning (node-per-tuple, edges from same txn) and ML-based explanation; strong on n-to-n and social-network schemas, with up to 30% fewer distributed transactions.
