Abstract:
Techniques are provided for processing a database command in a sharded database. The processing of the database command may include generating or otherwise accessing a shard key expression, and evaluating the shard key expression to identify one or more target shards that contain data used to execute the database command.
Abstract:
Distributed ledgered data is stored within a distributed persistent storage system comprising multiple persistent storage systems as distributed ledgered participants. In various embodiments, the distributed ledgered data is maintained using the native capabilities of a persistent storage system. The distributed ledgered data is replicated as persistent data objects in a “ledgered repository of objects” that are replicated at each of the persistent storage systems. Changes at one persistent storage system are recorded within a block in a distributed blockchain that is distributed across each of the other distributed ledgered participants. The other distributed ledgered participants read the changes from the blockchain and apply the changes to the respective replicas at each of the other distributed ledgered participants. Hence, this approach is referred to as blockchain apply. Blockchain apply may be used to replicate the repository objects of various forms of PSSs. In a DBMS, a repository of objects is a table, where each record or row is an object in the repository. In a file system, a repository of objects is a directory, where each directory and file therein is an object in the repository. In a document storage system (DOCS), a repository of objects is a collection of documents, where each document is an object in the repository.

Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, the system enables access to a sharded database using a cache and a shard topology. A shard-aware client application connecting to a sharded database can use a connection pool (e.g., a Universal Connection Pool, UCP), to store or access connections to different shards or chunks of the sharded database within a shared pool. As new connections are created, a shard topology layer can be built at the database driver layer, which learns and caches shard key ranges to locations of shards. The shard topology layer enables subsequent connection requests from a client application to use a fast key path access to the appropriate shard or chunk.
Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods for providing direct access to a sharded database. A shard director provides access by software client applications to database shards. A connection pool (e.g., a Universal Connection Pool, UCP) and database driver (e.g., a Java Database Connectivity, JDBC, component) can be configured to allow a client application to provide a shard key, either during connection checkout or at a later time; recognize shard keys specified by the client application; and enable connection by the client application to a particular shard or chunk. The approach enables efficient re-use of connection resources, and faster access to appropriate shards.
