FAILURE RECOVERY IN A REPLICATION ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660528 Titled 'FAILURE RECOVERY IN A REPLICATION ENVIRONMENT'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for performing replication operations and recovering from failures in a computing system using matrix clocks. Each node or process in the system has a matrix clock that keeps track of the streams required and available at the source and destination nodes. During replication, the matrix clocks are updated. If a failure is detected or there are not enough streams available, the nodes may be slowed down until enough streams become available. The matrix clocks help establish a recovery line, allowing replication to resume once sufficient streams are available.
Original Abstract Submitted
One example method includes performing replication operations and/or failure recovery operations for replication operations in a computing system using matrix clocks. Each node or process in a computing system is associated with a matrix clock that reflects streams required and/or available at the source and destination nodes. As the replication operation is performed, the matrix clocks are updated. When a failure is detected or when insufficient streams are available, the nodes may be throttled until sufficient streams are available. The matrix clocks facilitate a recovery line such that replication can resume when sufficient streams are available.
