Other Components of Data Placement

Other Components Related to Data Placement:

• Replication Manager: A component responsible for managing the creation, synchronization, and coordination of data copies (replicas) across different sites.
• Data Synchronization: The process of ensuring that all replicas of the data remain consistent. When data is updated at one site, the changes must be propagated to all other replicas.
• Conflict Resolution: A mechanism to handle situations where the same piece of data is updated concurrently at different sites. The system needs rules to decide which update to keep.
• Replication Topology: Defines how data updates flow between replicas. Common topologies include master-slave (one primary copy for writes) and peer-to-peer (all copies are equal).
