    摘要: A system and method of efficiently replicating data structures in a distributed system of replicas. Each replica in the distributed system maintains a cursor indicative of the extent to which other replicas in the system are consistent with one another. By examining the information in its cursor, a destination replica requesting replication from a source replica is able to determine the extent to which it has been made consistent with that source replica via indirect paths, thus potentially improving the starting point of replication. The source replica similarly examines its cursor to potentially improve the starting point of replication with respect to the starting point requested by the destination replica. In this manner, redundant information transmitted from a source replica when replicating a destination replica is reduced. The reduction in the amount of transmitted replication data is particularly appreciable when the replication topology of the system is changed such as by adding a new connection between existing replicas or by adding a new replica to the system.

    摘要: A system and method for expediting the replication of at least one specified object to a replica in a distributed computer system. A source object of a source replica determines that it has an urgent change to propagate through the distributed system, and informs a replication facility at the source replica of the urgent change. The facility extracts, or is provided with, the change information from that object, and the source replica communicates information representative of the change to a destination replica. A replication facility at the destination replica provides the change information to a destination replica object, which uses the information to make itself consistent with the source replica object.

    摘要: A system for multi-master unique identifier allocation comprises a server for allocating pools of identifiers to requesting servers and at least one server for requesting pools of identifiers and allocating individual identifiers as necessary. A single master server allocates “pools” of unique identifiers to network servers upon request. The network servers in turn allocate unique identifiers from their pool as necessary when the server generates new system objects. When a network server's pool of unique identifiers is nearly depleted, the network server requests an additional pool of identifiers from the master server.
