FDBKeeper: Enabling Scalable Coordination Services for Metadata Management using Distributed Key-Value Databases
Summary: FDBKeeper implements coordination-service semantics atop distributed ACID key-value stores (FoundationDB) to overcome ZooKeeper’s single-writer, capacity and scalability limits. Demonstrates much higher throughput and resource efficiency (≈33% hardware savings), outperforming ZooKeeper and deployed in production for ClickHouse. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
