IN-MEMORY DATABASE OPERATOR

Abstract:

A specialized in-memory database health check process is utilized to resolve dependencies in a resource indicating requirements for an instance of an in-memory database. Specifically, when an instance of an in-memory database is created in response to a request, a list of one or more component handlers are obtained. These component handlers are modular functions, separate from each other but potentially dependent on one or more other component handlers, and act to validate various requirements listed in a resource for the request. Each of the component handlers are executed individually during execution of a Reconcile function. To the extent that the execution of any component handlers in the list is unsuccessful, the Reconcile function is rerun for another iteration. These iterations continue until all component handlers report back as successful. Instance creation is then considered successful and the instance of the in-memory database can be utilized by users.
