sbrattla Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi, Let's say I've got three storage nodes A,B and C. The process 'updateLog' which runs on each of the nodes regularly updates the content of a STATUS.LOG file. Let's say I set up BitTorrent to synch this file between A,B,C. Assuming that time is synchronized between the nodes, one should expect that all nodes at any given time contains the most recent file (timestamp-wise). 1) What happens if A updates STATUS.LOG, but can't get in touch with B and C? Will A simply attempt to retry synchronization until it gets in touch with B and C again? 2) What happens if A updates STATUS.LOG at the same time as B updates the STATUS.LOG - but A can't get in touch with B or C? Will A, when it again can establish contact with B and C, simply realise that it holds a stale version of STATUS.LOG and instead apply the version which B holds? Thanks!
