The Free Termination Property of Queries Over Time

Conor Power, Paraschos Koutris, Joseph M Hellerstein

Building on prior work on distributed databases and the CALM Theorem, we define and study the question of free termination: in the absence of distributed coordination, what query p…

Optimizing the cloud? Don't train models. Build oracles!

Tiemo Bang, Conor Power, Siavash Ameli +2

We propose cloud oracles, an alternative to machine learning for online optimization of cloud configurations. Our cloud oracle approach guarantees complete accuracy and explainabil…

Optimizing Stateful Dataflow with Local Rewrites

Shadaj Laddad, Conor Power, Tyler Hou +2

Optimizing a stateful dataflow language is a challenging task. There are strict correctness constraints for preserving properties expected by downstream consumers, a large space of…

Keep CALM and CRDT On

Shadaj Laddad, Conor Power, Mae Milano +3

Despite decades of research and practical experience, developers have few tools for programming reliable distributed applications without resorting to expensive coordination techni…

Katara: Synthesizing CRDTs with Verified Lifting

Shadaj Laddad, Conor Power, Mae Milano +2

Conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) are a promising tool for designing scalable, coordination-free distributed systems. However, constructing correct CRDTs is difficult, po…

KEA: Tuning an Exabyte-Scale Data Infrastructure

Yiwen Zhu, Subru Krishnan, Konstantinos Karanasos +12

Microsoft's internal big-data infrastructure is one of the largest in the world -- with over 300k machines running billions of tasks from over 0.6M daily jobs. Operating this infra…
