Abstract
Most if not all datacenter services use sharding and replication for scalability and reliability. Shards are more-or-less independent of one another and individually replicated. We challenge this design philosophy and present a replication protocol where the shards interact with one another: A protocol running within shards ensures linearizable consistency, while the shards interact in order to improve availability. We analyze its availability properties and evaluate a working implementation.
