Abstract
Systems and methods that for a scalable versioned database that can organize data into scenarios and hives. These define how data visibility is controlled by scenarios, and how data can be transferred between scenarios. In some embodiments, queries and algorithms can be executed in independent processes, which may execute in parallel, and on independent machines. Furthermore, data objects can be placed in shared storage, and metadata objects can be placed in a metadata database which supports ACID transactions. Data objects are not modified in place after they are constructed, while metadata objects can be updated transactionally, using the metadata database. Data can be updated by creating new data objects and connecting them to scenarios with new metadata objects. Finally, obsolete data may be cleaned up by identifying unreachable data, which is safe to delete.
