Abstract
A consensus protocol-based replication approach is provided. For each change operation performed by a leader server on a copy of the database, the leader server creates a replication log record and returns a result to the client. The leader does not wait for consensus for the change operation from the followers. For a commit, the leader creates a commit log record and waits for consensus. Thus, the leader executes database transactions asynchronously, performs replication of change operations asynchronously, and performs replication of transaction commits synchronously.
