Solution Overview

Problem

Configuring a distributed database can be time-consuming and frustrating due to issues where a particular configuration does not behave as expected, often without raising an error, leading to performance and configuration problems.

Innovation Solution

A distributed database management system that obtains information from individual databases, analyzes it to determine performance and configuration issues, and provides recommendations for improvement, including topology analysis, performance measurement, and error detection, using input, analysis, and output logic to identify bottlenecks and suggest corrections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a distributed database allows flexible routing of database changes and user messages between an arbitrary number of databases, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverouting flexibilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects configuration issues by monitoring database operations and routing configurations, then provides feedback through error messages and suggestions to guide users toward correct configurations, reducing the complexity burden on users

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The distributed database system performs self-diagnosis of configuration issues by automatically analyzing its own routing configurations and database states, identifying problems without requiring manual intervention or complex user analysis

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the system provides comprehensive analysis and recommendations for distributed database configuration, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of time for information processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconfiguration easeVSAvoidanalysis time

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system proactively analyzes configuration issues and prepares recommendations in advance, before users encounter operational problems, so that when issues arise, solutions are already available and ready to be applied

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual configuration analysis and troubleshooting with automated computational analysis, using algorithms to detect configuration issues and generate recommendations, significantly reducing the time users would otherwise spend on manual analysis

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
