MgCrab: Transaction Crabbing for Live Migration in Deterministic Database Systems
Summary: MgCrab enables live migration for deterministic DBs to elastically support changing OLTP workloads. By leveraging determinism, it preserves source and destination data consistency at very low cost during migration, with an open-source implementation and extensive experiments.
