1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a database server from a client application, a first client write request for writing first data to persistent data storage and an indication that the first write request is designated as asynchronous;
receiving, at a replication server, a first write request from the database server for writing first data to persistent data storage;
determining, by the replication server, that the first write request is designated as asynchronous;
in response to determining that the first write request is asynchronous, saving the first data to local cache at the replication server and sending an acknowledgement to the database server, wherein the local cache stores second data to be written to persistent data storage when the first data is saved to the local cache; and
writing the first data and the second data from the local cache to the persistent data storage in a batch operation;
receiving, at the database server from the client application, a second client write request for writing second data to persistent data storage and an indication that the second write request is designated as synchronous;
receiving, at the replication server, a second write request from the database server for writing third data to persistent data storage;
determining, by the replication server, that the second write request is designated as synchronous; and
in response to determining that the second write request is synchronous, writing the third data to persistent data storage and sending an acknowledgement to the database server after writing the third data to persistent storage.

Abstract
A replication server receives a first write request from a database server for writing first data to persistent data storage. The replication server determines that the first write request is designated as asynchronous. In response to determining that the first write request is asynchronous, the first data is saved to local cache at the replication server and an acknowledgement is sent to the database server. The local cache stores second data to be written to persistent data storage when the first data is saved to the local cache. The first data and the second data are written from the local cache to the persistent data storage in a batch operation.

13. A computer program product, suitably embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable medium and including instructions executable by a processor, the instructions configured to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, at a database server from a client application, a first client write request for writing first data to persistent data storage and an indication that the first write request is designated as asynchronous; receiving, at a replication server, a first write request from the database server for writing first data to persistent data storage; determining, by the replication server, that the first write request is designated as asynchronous; in response to determining that the first write request is asynchronous, saving the first data to local cache at the replication server and sending an acknowledgement to the database server, wherein the local cache stores second data to be written to persistent data storage when the first data is saved to the local cache; and writing the first data and the second data from the local cache to the persistent data storage in a batch operation; receiving, at the database server from the client application, a second client write request for writing second data to persistent data storage and an indication that the second write request is designated as synchronous; receiving, at the replication server, a second write request from the database server for writing third data to persistent data storage; determining, by the replication server, that the second write request is designated as synchronous; and in response to determining that the second write request is synchronous, writing the third data to persistent data storage and sending an acknowledgement to the database server after writing the third data to persistent storage. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a database server from a client application, a first write request for writing first data to persistent data storage and an indication that the first write request is designated as asynchronous; in response to receiving the first write request, selecting, by the database server, a first set of replication servers; determining, by the database server, that the first write request is designated as asynchronous; sending the first data from the database server to the first set of replication servers for writing to the persistent data storage, along with an indication that the first write request is asynchronous, wherein replication servers included in the first set are configured to save the data to respective local caches in response to receiving the indication that the first write request is asynchronous, send a confirmation to the database server when the data is saved to the respective local caches, and write the first data to persistent storage in a batch operation with other data stored in the respective local caches; receiving, at the database server, confirmation from the replication servers in the first set; in response to receiving confirmation from the replication servers in the first set, sending information indicating success of the first write request from the database server to the client application; receiving, at the database server from the client application, a second write request for writing second data to persistent data storage and an indication that the second write request is designated as synchronous; in response to receiving the second write request, selecting, by the database server, a second set of replication servers; determining, by the database server, that the second write request is designated as synchronous; sending the second data from the database server to the second set of replication servers for writing to the persistent data storage, along with an indication that the second write request is synchronous, wherein replication servers included in the second set are configured to write the second data to persistent data storage in response to receiving the indication that the second write request is synchronous and send confirmation to the database server after writing the second data to persistent storage; receiving, at the database server, confirmation from the replication servers in the second set; and in response to receiving confirmation from the replication servers in the second set, sending information indicating success of the second write request from the database server to the client application. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
