Týr

Title:

Týr: Blob Storage Meets Built-In Transactions.

Keywords:

Big Data; Transactions; Tyr; BlobSeer.

Scientific Description:

Týr [25] is the first blob storage system to provide built-in, multi-blob transactions, while retaining sequential consistency and high throughput under heavy access concurrency.

Functional Description:

Týr offers fine-grained random write access to data and in-place atomic operations. Large-scale experiments on Microsoft Azure with a production application from CERN LHC show Týr throughput outperforms state-of-the-art solutions by more than 75%. Týr leverages the approaches developed within BlobSeer, the reference data management system for large distributed blobs, developed over the past years in KerData.
