Question 1 of 14

1

Which of the following is false about replication

Select one of the following:

good idea to ensure that all conflicting operations done in same order everywhere
guaranteeing global ordering on conflicting operations may be costly, downgrading scalability
replication can greatly increase performance of non-conflicting operations
Weakening consistency requirements to increases global synchronization requirements

True
False

Explanation

Question 3 of 14

1

Which of the following definitions are correct:

Select one or more of the following:

Read Your Writes: Effect of write operation by process on data item x, always seen by successive read operation on x by same process
Writes Follow Reads: Write operation by process on data item x following previous read operation on x by same process is guaranteed to take place on same or more recent value of x that was read.
Read write read: Write operation by process on data item x following previous read operation on x by same process is guaranteed to take place on same or more recent value of x that was read.
Read Your Writes: Write operation by process on data item x following previous read operation on x by same process is guaranteed to take place on same or more recent value of x that was read.

Explanation

Question 5 of 14

1

Which of the following is false about Object aware of replication

Select one of the following:

More difficult for developers
Allows for application specific solutions
Middleware handles communication
Middleware is responsible for ensuring objects are consistent across nodes

Explanation

Question 6 of 14

1

Which of the following is true about Monotonic reads and writes?

Select one or more of the following:

If process reads value of data item x, any successive read operation on x by that process will always return that same or more recent value
Write operation by process on data item x completed before any successive write on x by same process
If process reads value of data item x, any successive read operation on x by that process will always return a value no older than the latency between the client and the server
Write operation by process on data item x completed before any successive write by other users in the system

Explanation

Question 10 of 14

1

Which of the following is false about eventual consistency?

Select one of the following:

Database must tolerate a high degree of inconsistency
Updates guaranteed to propagate to all replicas
if no updates for long time, all replicas gradually become consistent
Eventual consistency increases the time an insert operation takes
