Systems Papers - Data-Parallel Actors: A Programming Model for Scalable Query Serving Systems

Hello new and old subscribers!

This week’s paper is Data-Parallel Actors: A Programming Model for Scalable Query Serving Systems. The research describes an actor-based framework for building query-serving systems, a class of database that predominantly respond to read requests and frequent bulk writes. The paper cites several examples of these systems, including Druid (covered in a previous paper review) and MongoDB.

The paper review is best enjoyed on the blog.

After this week, I'll be switching to non-database topics for a bit :)

Until next time,

Micah
