METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING SHARED STATE WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM WITH VARYING CONSISTENCY AND CONSENSUS SEMANTICS

摘要

Methods and systems for managing shared state within a distributed system with varying consistency and consensus semantics are described. In one configuration, a computing device receives a first plurality of objects representing the state of a first item and a second plurality of objects representing the state of a second item. The computing device generates a composed view of the state of each of the first item and the second item. The resulting composed views are transmitted using a reliable multicast protocol.
