发明名称 MANAGEMENT OF NODE MEMBERSHIP IN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM
摘要 Systems and methods of managing computing node membership are present. A particular method may include determining that a node group universally unique identifier has not been assigned to a computing node. In response to the determination, the method may include transitioning the computing node into a first state, where the computing node awaits an invitation relating to forming or joining a node group while in the first state and transitioning the computing node into a second state in response to receiving the invitation to form or join the node group, where the computing node awaits an assignment of the node group universally unique identifier while in the second state. The computing node may transition into a third state in response to receiving the node group universally unique identifier, where the computing node is configured to locate a plurality of neighboring nodes while operating in the third state, and the method may determine whether a quorum of nodes including the neighboring nodes is present.

主权项 1. A method of managing computing node membership, the method comprising: determining that a node group universally unique identifier has not been assigned to a computing node; in response to the determination, transitioning the computing node into a first state, wherein the computing node awaits an invitation relating to forming or joining a node group while in the first state; transitioning the computing node into a second state in response to receiving the invitation to form or join the node group, wherein the computing node awaits an assignment of the node group universally unique identifier while in the second state; transitioning the computing node into a third state in response to receiving the node group universally unique identifier, wherein the computing node is configured to locate a plurality of neighboring nodes while operating in the third state; and determining whether a quorum of nodes including the neighboring nodes is present.
