Abstract
• We describe the Cyan language and its metaobject protocol. • We show how to use the metaprogramming infrastructure of the Cyan language to create replicated applications. • We demonstrate the use of the proposed metaobjects in a relatively complex example. Replication can be used to increase the availability of a service by creating many operational copies of its data called replicas. Active replication is a form of replication that has strong consistency semantics, which are easier to reason about and program. However, creating replicated services using active replication still demands from the programmer the knowledge of subtleties of the replication mechanism. In this paper we show how to use the metaprogramming infrastructure of the Cyan language to shield the application programmer from these details, allowing easier creation of fault-tolerant replicated applications through simple annotations.
