Zephyr: Live Migration in Shared Nothing Databases for Elastic Cloud Platforms
Summary: Zephyr enables live migration of tenants in shared-nothing transactional DBs for elastic clouds. On-demand pull + asynchronous push, minimal sync, ACID guarantees with no downtime and low data transfer; prototype shows few aborts and modest latency impact.
