“…Previous systems have used Paxos as a mechanism for granting leases: FaTLease [15] and PaxosLease [24] are replicated state machines that grant leases to individual clients. They use Paxos to ensure the fault tolerance of the leasemanagement system, and take advantage of the perishable property of leases to avoid logging Paxos state to disk.…”

This paper describes quorum leases, a new technique that allows Paxos-based systems to perform reads with high throughput and low latency. Quorum leases do not sacrifice consistency and have only a small impact on system availability and write latency. Quorum leases allow a majority of replicas to perform strongly consistent local reads, which substantially reduces read latency at those replicas (e.g., by two orders of magnitude in wide-area scenarios). Previous techniques for performing local reads in Paxos systems either (a) sacrifice consistency; (b) allow only one replica to read locally; or (c) decrease the availability of the system and increase the latency of all updates by requiring all replicas to be notified synchronously. We describe the design of quorum leases and evaluate their benefits compared to previous approaches through an implementation running in five geo-distributed Amazon EC2 datacenters.

“…In this work it is presented a fairly complete study of the performance of the described implementation under different state machine replication suppositions. A description of a variant of the Paxos algorithm optimized for the implementation of a distributed lock management system and an analysis of its performance can be found in [Hupfeld et al 2008].…”

Paxos and Fast Paxos are optimal consensus algorithms that are simple and elegant, while suitable for efficient implementation. In this paper, we compare the performance of both algorithms in failure-free and failure-prone runs using Treplica, a general replication toolkit that implements these algorithms in a modular and efficient manner. We have found that Paxos outperforms Fast Paxos for small number of replicas and that collisions are not the cause of this performance difference.

“…FaTLease [33] utilizes regular consensus with Paxos to agree on a lease owner. A scheme with instances similar to Multipaxos [16] is used for continuous lease coordination.…”

Abstract-Large-scale distributed systems often require scalable and fault-tolerant mechanisms to coordinate exclusive access to shared resources such as files, replicas or the primary role. The best known algorithms to implement distributed mutual exclusion with leases, such as Multipaxos, are complex, difficult to implement, and rely on stable storage to persist lease information.In this paper we present FLEASE, an algorithm for faulttolerant lease coordination in distributed systems that is simpler than Multipaxos and does not rely on stable storage. The evaluation shows that FLEASE can be used to implement scalable, decentralized lease coordination that outperforms a central lock service implementation by an order of magnitude.
