	\textbf{Property:} If node $A$ did an operation $write(x)$ and received an OK response,\\
		\hspace{2cm} and node $B$ starts an operation $read()$ after $A$ received OK,\\
		\hspace{2cm} then $B$ will read a value $x' \sqsupseteq x$.

	\hspace{1em}
	\begin{minipage}{6.8cm}
		\textbf{Algorithm $write(x)$:}
		\begin{enumerate}
			\item Broadcast $write(x)$ to all nodes

	\vspace{2em}
	\textbf{Why does it work?} There is at least one node at the intersection between the two sets of nodes that replied to each request, that ``saw'' $x$ before the $read()$ started ($x_i \sqsupseteq x$).

			\vspace{.01em}
		\item<3-> During the rebalancing, $D$ and $E$ don't yet have the data,\\
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~and $B$ and $C$ want to get rid of the data to free up space\\
			\vspace{.2em}
			$\to$ quorums only within the new set of nodes don't work\\
			$\to$ how to coordinate? \textbf{currently, we don't...}

	\begin{itemize}
		\item A new, custom, minimal API\\
			\vspace{.5em}
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Single-item operations
				\item Operations on ranges and batches of items
				\item Polling operations to help implement a PubSub pattern
			\end{itemize}
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<2-> Exposes the partitoning mechanism of Garage\\
			K2V = partition key / sort key / value (like Dynamo)
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<3-> Weakly consistent, CRDT-friendly\\
			$\to$ no support for transactions (not ACID)
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<4-> Cryptography-friendly: values are binary blobs
	\end{itemize}

	\frametitle{Handling concurrent values}
	\textbf{How to handle concurrency?} Example:
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{enumerate}
		\item Client $A$ reads the initial value of a key, $x_0$
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<2-> Client $B$ also reads the initial value $x_0$ of that key
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<3-> Client $A$ modifies $x_0$, and writes a new value $x_1$
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<4-> Client $B$ also modifies $x_0$, and writes a new value $x'_1$,\\
			without having a chance to first read $x_1$\\
			\vspace{1em}
			$\to$ what should the final state be?
	\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Handling concurrent values}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item If we keep only $x_1$ or $x'_1$, we risk \textbf{loosing application data}
			\vspace{1.5em}
		\item<2-> Values are opaque binary blobs, \textbf{K2V cannot resolve conflicts} by itself\\
			(e.g. by implementing a CRDT)
			\vspace{1.5em}
		\item<3-> Solution: \textbf{we keep both!}\\
			$\to$ the value of the key is now $\{x_1, x'_1\}$\\
			$\to$ the client application can decide how to resolve conflicts on the next read
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Keeping track of causality}
	How does K2V know that $x_1$ and $x'_1$ are concurrent?
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item $read()$ returns \textbf{a set of values} and an associated \textbf{causality token}\\
			\vspace{1.5em}
		\item<2-> When calling $write()$, the client sends \textbf{the causality token from its last read}
			\vspace{1.5em}
		\item<3-> The causality token represents the set of values \textbf{already seen by the client}\\
			$\to$ those values are the \textbf{causal past} of the write operation\\
			$\to$ K2V can keep concurrent values and overwrite all ones in the causal past
			\vspace{1.5em}
		\item<4-> Internally, the causality token is \textbf{a vector clock}

	How to build an application using only Garage as a data store:
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{enumerate}
		\item Design a data model suited to K2V\\
			{\footnotesize (see Cassandra docs on porting SQL data models to Cassandra)}
			\vspace{1em}
			\begin{itemize}
				\item Use CRDTs or other eventually consistent data types (see e.g. Bayou)
					\vspace{1em}
				\item Store opaque binary blobs to provide End-to-End Encryption\\
			\end{itemize}
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<2-> Store big blobs (files) using the S3 API
			\vspace{1em}
		\item<3-> Let Garage manage sharding, replication, failover, etc.
