Apparatus for journaling during software deployment and method therefor

摘要

A method that, all-in-one, allows applications to distribute asynchronously large amounts of data from a source node to multiple destination nodes, to process that data on each single node and to collect the results of that processing on one or more report-to nodes. Distributions are given levels of priority that determine the order in which they are handled by repeaters. A distribution with a given priority can use the number of sessions reserved for its priority level plus any sessions allocated for lower priority levels. Distributions are enqueues in a persistent queue, according to its priority, for subsequent distribution and immediately returns to the caller an ID that can be used as a correlator for the results.
