Coordination-Free Computations

Explore the challenges of distributed query execution in Dynamo-style replication systems like Akka Cluster and Riak Core in this conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2015. Delve into the complexities of ensuring highly-available and fault-tolerant computations, where programmers must typically ensure operations are commutative and idempotent. Learn about the intricacies of resilience from network partitions and node failures in distributed systems. Gain insights from Christopher Meiklejohn, a Senior Software Engineer at Basho, as he discusses coordination-free computations and their implications for distributed query execution.
