MECHANISM FOR COMMUNICATION IN A DISTRIBUTED DATABASE

摘要

In a method for providing communication integrity within a distributed database computer system, a first node of a plurality of nodes transmits a change notification to a second node of the plurality of nodes. The second node is a neighbor of the first node. The first node receives at least one change confirmation from the second node. The change confirmation confirms acknowledgment of the change notification by the second node and by a third node of the plurality of nodes. The third node is not a neighbor of the first node. Responsive to receiving the at least one change confirmation, the first node determines that all the plurality of nodes have acknowledged the change notification.

1. A method for providing communication integrity within a distributed database computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
transmitting, by a first node of a plurality of nodes, a change notification to a second node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the second node is a neighbor of the first node; receiving, by the first node of the plurality of nodes, at least one change confirmation from the second node, the change confirmation confirming acknowledgment of the change notification by the second node and by a third node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the third node of the plurality of nodes is not a neighbor of the first node of the plurality of nodes; and responsive to receiving the at least one change confirmation, determining, by the first node of the plurality of nodes, that all the plurality of nodes have acknowledged the change notification.
