Disclaimer

This is still a work in progress! This repository is only created for educational purposes (specifically, for my masters thesis).

Introduction

This repository is created to provide a distributed in-memory database solution written in Java that uses the Bizur consensus algorithm (see paper at: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.04242.pdf)

Description

The repository is divided into 4 main branches.

• master: Contains the java implementation of the database.
• examples: Contains some basic examples of how to use the database.
• repository: Contains the binaries of the built java libraries including mpi and jbizur (this project).
• benchmark: A separate project that is used to compare the performance of different in-memory database solutions with the bizur db.

Where to Start

Please see the examples branch to see the basic usage of this distributed database.

To run the examples you need:

• Java 8
• Maven

Checkout the examples branch and in the main dir compile with command:

$ mvn clean install

Import the code using your favourite IDE and use it as you wish.

Notes and TODO

• See the issues section for more details on what will be implemented next.
• NB! Since the code is constantly evolving, comments will be added to the implementation details once the project is in finalization state.
