Sharding Distributed Databases: A Critical Review
Abstrak
This article examines the significant challenges encountered in implementing sharding within distributed replication systems. It identifies the impediments of achieving consensus among large participant sets, leading to scalability, throughput, and performance limitations. These issues primarily arise due to the message complexity inherent in consensus mechanisms. In response, we investigate the potential of sharding to mitigate these challenges, analyzing current implementations within distributed replication systems. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive review of replication systems, encompassing both classical distributed databases as well as Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) employing sharding techniques. Through this analysis, the article aims to provide insights into addressing the scalability and performance concerns in distributed replication systems.
