Methods and systems are disclosed for detecting data divergence or inconsistency across replicas of data maintained in replica nodes in a shared-nothing distributed computer database system. The replica nodes communicate with a coordinator node over a computer network. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving an operation at the coordinator node; (b) transmitting the operation to the replica nodes to be executed by each replica node to generate an operation result and a hash representation of the operation or of the operation result; (c) receiving the operation result and the hash representation generated by each of the replica nodes; and (d) determining whether the operation resulted in data divergence or inconsistency by detecting when the hash representations received from the replica nodes are not all the same.
In a shared-nothing distributed computer database system including a coordinator node and a plurality of replica nodes communicating with the coordinator node over a computer network, a method of detecting data divergence or inconsistency across replicas of data maintained in the replica nodes, the method comprising the steps of:
A coordinator node communicating with a plurality of replica nodes over a computer network in a shared-nothing distributed computer database system, the coordinator node comprising:
A computer program product for detecting data divergence or inconsistency across replicas of data maintained in replica nodes in a shared-nothing distributed computer database system, said replica nodes communicating with coordinator node over a computer network, the computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer processor, cause that computer processor to:
