FAULT-TOLERANT METHODS, SYSTEMS AND ARCHITECTURES FOR DATA STORAGE, RETRIEVAL AND DISTRIBUTION

摘要

The disclosure is directed towards fault-tolerant methods, systems and architectures for data distribution. One method includes generating fault distribution tables. The table entries correspond to a copy of data records. The entry and copy are associated with a fault status, a node, and a group that are based on a position of the entry within the distribution table. The method also includes storing the copy of the data record that corresponds to the entry in a database that is included in a plurality of databases. In response to determining an unavailable node included in the plurality of nodes, the method determines a fault status, a node, and a group. The method provides an available node sequential access to data records that are stored in a particular database that is stored locally on the available node in a tree structure.
