One of the challenges of having a discussion about distributed systems is agreeing on vocabulary. I've written up some of the vocabulary I've found most useful for having such discussions.

• CAP theorem
• Harvest Yield, and Scalable Tolerant Systems
• ACID
• The Transaction Concept: Virtues and Limitations
• Neo4j
• BASE
• Datomic
• Dynamo
• Riak
• Towards Robust Distributed Systems
• Keeping CALM: When Distributed Consistency is Easy
• summary of Keeping CALM
• those same terms are used to instead describe frequency of data retrieval
• Amazon S3 Glacier
• Paxos
• Chubby
• ZAB
• RAFT
• Consul
• SWIM
• Two-phase commit
• Eventually Consistent
• Dynamo paper
• last writer wins
• read repair
• Dynamo paper
• Fault domains
• semisynchronous replication
