Don't be lazy, be consistent: Postgres-R, A new way to implement Database Replication
Summary: Postgres-R: a new replication approach fusing known and novel techniques for eager, update-everywhere replication with reduced deadlocks and overhead. Implemented in PostgreSQL, with protocols and experiments showing consistency and performance gains over traditional replication.
