Abstract

Distributed Erlang, the process of transparently running Erlang programs over networks, has a long history of immense usefulness but has problems when distributed systems reach certain scales. We explain the issues and show research done towards the goal of transparently enhancing Erlang distribution, so that changes to existing applications and systems can be avoided. We propose several research directions together with prototype implementations that all serve the purpose of improving the current status quo. This includes using different transport protocols, generalizing implementation efforts and incorporating routing protocols for more dynamic node constellations. We then describe some background and history of various work to solve Erlang distribution scalability issues. We show that there is much room for improvement on the Erlang distribution layer without breaking abstractions that developers are used to and rely on.
扩展Erlang分布:超越完全连接的网格
分布式Erlang是在网络上透明运行Erlang程序的过程,它有着非常有用的历史,但是当分布式系统达到一定规模时就会出现问题。我们解释了这些问题,并展示了为了透明地增强Erlang发布而进行的研究,这样就可以避免对现有应用程序和系统进行更改。我们提出了几个研究方向和原型实现,都是为了改善现状。这包括使用不同的传输协议,推广实现工作,以及为更动态的节点群合并路由协议。然后,我们描述了解决Erlang发行版可伸缩性问题的各种工作的背景和历史。我们展示了在不破坏开发人员习惯和依赖的抽象的情况下,Erlang发布层还有很大的改进空间。
