PolarDB-SCC: A Cloud-Native Database Ensuring Low Latency for Strongly Consistent Reads
Summary: PolarDB-SCC: cloud-native read-write splitting that ensures strongly consistent, low-latency reads by multi-granularity RW timestamps and a Linear Lamport timestamp. RDMA-based timestamp/log transfer minimizes overhead and fetches; shows negligible cost vs stale reads and up to 4.51x throughput / 3.66x median latency gains; deployed at Alibaba Cloud.
