Description
We present the AMGA (ARDA Metadata Grid Application) metadata catalog, which is a
part of the gLite middleware. AMGA provides a very lightweight metadata service as
well as basic database access functionality on the Grid. Following a brief overview
of the AMGA design, functionality, implementation and security features, we will show
performance comparisons of AMGA with direct database access as well as with other
Grid catalog services. Finally the replication features of AMGA are presented and a
comparison with proprietary database replication solutions is shown. A series of
examples of usage from HEP and other communities is also presented.
