As a highly available and scalable distributed data store, the design principles of Dynamo features high availability for writes (via reconciliation during reads), incremental scalability (consistent hashing), symmetry, decentralization, and heterogeneity (via virtual nodes).

There are five points worth noting if we want to mix C++ and C in the same program.

The general rule: non-leaf classes should be abstract. This will yields dividends in the form of increased reliability, robustness, comprehensibility, and extensibility throughout our software.

Things change. Future tense thinking increases the reusability of the code we write, enhances its maintainability, makes it more robust, and facilitates gracefully in an environment where change is a certainty.
