Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing MPP relational databases using containers. One example system initiates primary containers to implement database segment instances. Each segment of the database is stored on a respective storage volume. Each storage volume is mounted on a respective primary container. The system detects a failure of a first primary container that is a segment instance of a first database segment. In response to the detection, the system performs a recovery process. The system unmounts, from the failed first primary container, a first storage volume storing the first database segment. The system selects a standby container from a pool of standby containers and mounts the first storage volume on the selected standby container. The system is reconfigured so that it processes queries for the first database segment using the selected standby container instead of the failed first container.
