Method for managing competing updates in distributed systems
The patent US12072865B2 outlines a method and system for managing updates to objects stored in a data repository within a distributed system. The process begins with a class receiving an update message from a client, which includes an update to the object and an expected version. The class checks for a version match between the expected version and the current version of the object. If the versions match, the update is applied, and a response message is generated and sent back to the client, indicating success or failure based on the outcome of the update. The system is designed to handle multiple concurrent update messages from various clients, ensuring efficient processing and communication.
Additionally, the patent details mechanisms for verification when version matches are unsuccessful, allowing for further checks against the state of the object and previous versions. The response messages can vary based on the success of the update and the verification process, with specific conditions outlined for when messages are transmitted or withheld. The method also incorporates the use of a RESTful API and JSON formatting for the update messages, enhancing compatibility and ease of use. Furthermore, the client is equipped to manage an address cache for unicast addresses, facilitating streamlined communication for subsequent updates. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to object updates in distributed systems, emphasizing version control and efficient message handling.
