Efficient Fault-Tolerant Transactions for Distributed Graph Database

Through the ongoing trend in graph technologies due to the massive growth of linked data produced by social networks graph databases gained popularity. Replication, a common approach to increase availability in databases, is also used by diverse graph database solutions. Few approaches implementing fault-tolerance in graph databases have been proposed yet.This paper considers deferred update replication using atomic broadcast in order to implement fault-tolerance in distributed graph databases. The main contribution of this paper is a deferred update algorithm adapted to graph databases offering a more scalable and faster solution, showing a performance advantage of over 30\% compared to existing approaches.
