The database is distributed and replicated among several nodes and C-JDBC balances the queries among these nodes. C-JDBC handles node failures and provides support for checkpointing and hot recovery.
How does it work ?
Existing Java applications use a database specific JDBC driver to access the database. C-JDBC provides a generic JDBC driver replacing the application?s driver. The C-JDBC driver forwards SQL statements to one or several C-JDBC controllers that distribute reads and broadcast writes providing strong consistency. The controller reuses the database native JDBC driver to execute the queries on the backends.
C-JDBC features :
– High availability: C-JDBC controllers can be replicated to prevent any single point of failure in the system. C-JDBC provides transparent failover hiding any cluster failure to applications, and it offers support for database checkpointing and hot recovery.
– Performance scalability: C-JDBC provides various concurrency control and load balancing implementations. It offers transparent connection pooling and query result caching with fine grain invalidations or relaxed consistencies. C-JDBC lowers response time and improve throughput of eCommerce applications.
– Administration and monitoring: C-JDBC features JMX-based administration and monitoring that can be easily integrated in existing management infrastructures. C-JDBC comes with a graphical administration console for database management in cluster and grid environments.
– Heterogeneity support: C-JDBC supports clusters composed of any database engine providing a JDBC driver. C-JDBC provides on-the-fly query rewriting to accommodate variation in SQL dialects among databases.
– Open infrastructure: Every C-JDBC component can be replaced by a user-defined implementation to suit architecture or application specific needs.
New features of C-JDBC 2.0
This new releases provides support for JDBC 3.0 Savepoints, new JGroups version, new serialization protocol, new infrastructure for database backup/restore including a native PostgreSQL backuper, full transparency for database metadata and new command line console.
We are constantly working on improving the code base and your feedback is very welcome.
