by Aldrin Montana · edited by Abhishek Singh and Lindsey Kuper Introduction Modern distributed applications call for ways to store and access data using a range of consistency guarantees. Consider a distributed shared log, like that described in the FuzzyLog paper. A log service is useful in many contexts for applications including data management systems and storage systems. The FuzzyLog paper describes the use of log services for funneling updates for data management systems and other services (e.g., metadata and coordination services, filesystem namespaces) within data centers.
