Description: Eager replication is a method of replication in distributed storage systems, where data is copied to multiple nodes immediately upon writing. This approach ensures that each write operation is reflected across all participating nodes before the operation is confirmed to the client. This means that in the event of failures or node crashes, data remains consistent and available on other nodes, enhancing the system’s resilience. Eager replication is particularly useful in environments where data availability and integrity are critical, as it minimizes the risk of data loss and ensures that all nodes have the same version of the data at all times. However, this method can introduce additional latencies in write operations, as each write must be confirmed by all nodes before being considered complete. Despite this, its ability to maintain real-time data consistency makes it a popular choice for applications requiring high availability and performance in managing distributed data.
