Readings in Distributed Systems

2008/10/28

Currently, there's a section on

the Google papers: GFS, Bigtable, MapReduce, etc.: these are classics
Distributed Filesystems: this is what I'm working on right now, so it's the most complete section
Non-relational Distributed Databases: very incomplete
The Lamport papers: Leslie Lamport seems to be the godfather of distributed algorithms, these are some of his most important papers. It's worth looking at them to get an idea of the problems you could run into designing / implementing distributed systems.

If you think something important is missing, please email me.
