-Same as the architect TiDB + TiKV + PD that separates the storage and computation, TinyKV only focuses on the storage layer of a distributed database system. If you are also interested in SQL layer, see [TinySQL](https://github.com/pingcap-incubator/tinysql). Besides that, there is a component called TinyScheduler as a center control of the whole TinyKV cluster, which collects information from the heartbeats of TinyKV. After that, the TinyScheduler can generate some scheduling tasks and distribute them to the TinyKV instances. All of them are communicated by RPC.
