SCALABLE FAULT RESILIENT COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN DISTRIBUTED CLUSTERS

摘要

Embodiments are directed to communicating between computing nodes in a cluster of nodes. In one scenario, a computer system receives a data packet from a worker node including the worker node's current workload identifiers and health status, where the data packet includes an associated version number. The computer system determines that the version number in the received data packet is different than a previously received data packet and evaluates the worker node's current workload configuration to determine whether workload changes are to be made on the worker node. Then, upon determining that workload changes are to be made on the worker node, the computer system selects a subset of workload changes to apply to the worker node, generates an indication of the selected subset of workload changes to the worker node and sends the generated indication of workload changes to the worker node.

1. At a computer system including at least one processor, a computer-implemented method for communicating between computing nodes in a cluster of nodes, the method comprising:
an act of receiving a data packet from a worker node including the worker node's current workload identifiers and health status, the data packet including an associated version identifier; an act of determining that the version identifier in the received data packet is different than a previously received data packet; an act of evaluating the worker node's current workload configuration to determine whether workload changes are to be made on the worker node; upon determining that workload changes are to be made on the worker node, an act of selecting a subset of workload changes to apply to the worker node; an act of generating an indication of the selected subset of workload changes to the worker node; and an act of sending the generated indication of workload changes to the worker node.
