Don’t Look Back, Look into the Future: Prescient Data Partitioning and Migration for Deterministic Database Systems
Summary: Hermes proposes a deterministic DB system that avoids reliance on complex data partitioning. It uses prescient routing that jointly optimizes machine load balance, partitioning decisions, and live migration by looking ahead to near-future queued transactions, delivering 29% to 137% higher throughput than state-of-the-art systems on complex workloads.
