A Distributed Systems Reading List
Introduction
I often argue that the toughest thing about distributed systems is changing the way you think. The below is a collection of material I've found useful for motivating these changes.

Thought Provokers
Ramblings that make you think about the way you design. Not everything can be solved with big servers, databases and transactions.

Harvest, Yield and Scalable Tolerant Systems - Real world applications of CAP from Brewer et al
On Designing and Deploying Internet Scale Services - James Hamilton
The Perils of Good Abstractions - Building the perfect API/interface is difficult
Chaotic Perspectives - Large scale systems are everything developers dislike - unpredictable, unordered and parallel
Data on the Outside versus Data on the Inside - Pat Helland
Memories, Guesses and Apologies - Pat Helland
SOA and Newton's Universe - Pat Helland
Building on Quicksand - Pat Helland
Why Distributed Computing? - Jim Waldo
A Note on Distributed Computing - Waldo, Wollrath et al
Stevey's Google Platforms Rant - Yegge's SOA platform experience
Latency
Latency Exists, Cope! - Commentary on coping with latency and it's architectural impacts
Latency - the new web performance bottleneck - not at all new (see Patterson), but noteworthy
The Tail At Scale - the latencychallenges inherent of dealing with latency in large scale systems
Amazon
Somewhat about the technology but more interesting is the culture and organization they've created to work with it.

A Conversation with Werner Vogels - Coverage of Amazon's transition to a service-based architecture
Discipline and Focus - Additional coverage of Amazon's transition to a service-based architecture
Vogels on Scalability
SOA creates order out of chaos @ Amazon
Google
Current "rocket science" in distributed systems.

MapReduce
Chubby Lock Manager
Google File System
BigTable
Data Management for Internet-Scale Single-Sign-On
Dremel: Interactive Analysis of Web-Scale Datasets
Large-scale Incremental Processing Using Distributed Transactions and Notifications
Megastore: Providing Scalable, Highly Available Storage for Interactive Services - Smart design for low latency Paxos implementation across datacentres.
Spanner - Google's scalable, multi-version, globally-distributed, and synchronously-replicated database.
Photon - Fault-tolerant and Scalable Joining of Continuous Data Streams. Joins are tough especially with time-skew, high availability and distribution.
Mesa: Geo-Replicated, Near Real-Time, Scalable Data Warehousing - Data warehousing system that stores critical measurement data related to Google's Internet advertising business.
Consistency Models
Key to building systems that suit their environments is finding the right tradeoff between consistency and availability.

CAP Conjecture - Consistency, Availability, Parition Tolerance cannot all be satisfied at once
Consistency, Availability, and Convergence - Proves the upper bound for consistency possible in a typical system
CAP Twelve Years Later: How the "Rules" Have Changed - Eric Brewer expands on the original tradeoff description
Consistency and Availability - Vogels
Eventual Consistency - Vogels
Avoiding Two-Phase Commit - Two phase commit avoidance approaches
2PC or not 2PC, Wherefore Art Thou XA? - Two phase commit isn't a silver bullet
Life Beyond Distributed Transactions - Helland
If you have too much data, then 'good enough' is good enough - NoSQL, Future of data theory - Pat Helland
Starbucks doesn't do two phase commit - Asynchronous mechanisms at work
You Can't Sacrifice Partition Tolerance - Additional CAP commentary
Optimistic Replication - Relaxed consistency approaches for data replication
Theory
Papers that describe various important elements of distributed systems design.

Distributed Computing Economics - Jim Gray
Rules of Thumb in Data Engineering - Jim Gray and Prashant Shenoy
Fallacies of Distributed Computing - Peter Deutsch
Impossibility of distributed consensus with one faulty process - also known as FLP [access requires account and/or payment, a free version can be found here]
Unreliable Failure Detectors for Reliable Distributed Systems. A method for handling the challenges of FLP
Lamport Clocks - How do you establish a global view of time when each computer's clock is independent
The Byzantine Generals Problem
Lazy Replication: Exploiting the Semantics of Distributed Services
Scalable Agreement - Towards Ordering as a Service
Scalable Eventually Consistent Counters over Unreliable Networks - Scalable counting is tough in an unreliable world
Languages and Tools
Issues of distributed systems construction with specific technologies.

Programming Distributed Erlang Applications: Pitfalls and Recipes - Building reliable distributed applications isn't as simple as merely choosing Erlang and OTP.
Infrastructure
Principles of Robust Timing over the Internet - Managing clocks is essential for even basics such as debugging
Storage
Consistent Hashing and Random Trees
Amazon's Dynamo Storage Service
Paxos Consensus
Understanding this algorithm is the challenge. I would suggest reading "Paxos Made Simple" before the other papers and again afterward.
