[jira] [Updated] (RATIS-428) Phi accrual failure detector
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RATIS-428?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Vladimir Rodionov updated RATIS-428:
------------------------------------
Description:
Failure detectors are an important piece in designing robust distributed systems. Components must be expected to fail, and the rest of the system should either continue functioning properly (ideal) or at the very least degrade gracefully instead of crashing or becoming corrupted. Because of the unreliable nature of communication over networks, however, detecting that a node has failed is a nontrivial task. The *phi accrual failure detector* is a popular choice for solving this problem, as it provides a good balance of flexibility and adaptability to different network conditions. It is used successfully in several real-world distributed systems, such as Apache Cassandra (see here) and Akka clusters (see here), and also has a Node.js implementation.
