Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for allocating a number of first containers to implement one primary segment instance each and a number of second containers to implement one mirror segment instance each. In one example system, the second containers are configured to have less computing resources than the first containers. The containers are distributed among a number of physical computers. The system receives an indication of a failure of a physical computer hosting a particular first container implementing a first primary segment instance. In response to receiving the indication, the system promotes a second mirror segment instance that is a mirror of the first primary segment instance to be a new primary segment instance. The system allocates additional resources to the particular second container implementing the promoted mirror segment instance.
