Data Delivery Alternative 3

This document summarizes the key alternatives for delivering data in distributed database systems. It describes three dimensions for characterizing data delivery: (1) delivery modes including pull-only, push-only, and hybrid, (2) frequency measurements including periodic, conditional, and ad-hoc delivery, and (3) communication methods including unicast and one-to-many delivery. Each dimension is explained in one or two paragraphs with examples to illustrate the different options within each dimension.

Data Delivery Alternatives
 In distributed databases, data are “delivered” from the sites where they are
stored to where the query is created.

 We characterize the data delivery alternatives along three orthogonal


dimensions:
 Delivery modes
 Frequency measurements
 Communication methods.

Data Delivery Alternatives
Delivery modes
 Pull-only
 Push-only
 Hybrid

Frequency
 Periodic
 Conditional
 Ad-hoc or irregular

Communication Methods
 Unicast
 One-to-many

3
Delivery modes
 Pull only mode
 The transfer of data from servers to clients is started by a client pull.
When a client request is received at a server, the server responds by
locating the requested information.
 The main characteristic of pull-based delivery
 arrival of new data items or updates to existing data items are carried

out at a server without notification to clients unless clients explicitly


poll the server.
 In pull-based mode, servers must be interrupted continuously to deal
with requests from clients.
 Conventional DBMSs offer primarily pull-based data delivery

4
Delivery Modes Continues…
Push-only
 In the push-only mode of data delivery
 The transfer of data from servers to clients is started by a server push in the
absence of any specific request from clients.
 In push-based mode, servers broadcast information to either
 set of clients (random broadcast)
 selective set of clients (multicast), who belong to some
 The main difficulty of the push-based
 Deciding which data would be of common interest
 When to send them to clients
 The usefulness of server push depends heavily upon the accuracy of a
server to predict the needs of clients.

5
Delivery Modes Continues…
 Hybrid Mode

 The hybrid mode of data delivery combines the client-pull and server-

push mechanisms.

 The continuous (or continual) query approach presents one possible

way of combining the pull and push modes:


 the transfer of information from servers to clients is first initiated by a client
pull (by posing the query), and the subsequent transfer of updated information

to clients is initiated by a server push.

6
Frequency Measurements
 There are three typical frequency measurements that can be used to
classify the regularity of data delivery. i.e Periodic, conditional, and ad-
hoc or irregular.
 Periodic
 In periodic delivery, data are sent from the server to clients at

regular intervals
 The intervals can be defined by system default or by clients using

their profiles.
 Periodic delivery is carried out on a regular and pre-specified

repeating schedule.
 Both pull and push can be performed in periodic fashion.

 A client request for IBM’s stock price every week is an example of

a periodic pull.

7
Frequency Measurements Continues…

Conditional
 Data are sent from servers whenever certain conditions installed by
clients in their profiles are satisfied.
 conditions can be as simple as a given time span or as

complicated as event-condition-action rules


 Conditional delivery is mostly used in the hybrid or push-only

delivery systems.
 Using conditional push, data are sent out according to a pre-

specified condition, rather than any particular repeating schedule

8
Frequency Measurements Continues…

Ad-hoc or irregular.
 Ad-hoc delivery is irregular and is performed mostly in a pure
pull-based system.

 Data are pulled from servers to clients in an ad-hoc fashion


whenever clients request it.

 In contrast, periodic pull arises when a client uses polling(device


waits for an external device to check for its readiness or state) to
obtain data from servers based on a regular period (schedule).

9
Communication method
 These methods determine the various ways in which servers and clients
communicate for delivering information to clients.

 The alternatives are


 Unicast
 One-to-many.

10
Communication method Continues…

 Unicast
 the communication from a server to a client is one-to-one:
 the server sends data to one client using a particular delivery mode with

some frequency.

 One-to-many
 the server sends data to a number of clients.
