Manner and the computer program which are run in the new server where the fact that it joins to the cluster of manner and the group of servers who are run in the kodeineta server in the cluster of the group of servers is desired

摘要

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, send a broadcast message to a cluster of servers receive a point-to-point message from a coordinating server of the cluster and where the coordinating server joined the cluster before all other servers in the cluster. The point-to-point message includes routing data regarding all of the servers in the cluster. In an embodiment, the broadcast message includes a record that includes an identification of a new server, resource data regarding the new server, and a time that the new server joins the cluster and the servers in the cluster add the record to the routing data and send a request to the new server via the record. In another embodiment, the broadcast message includes records for all servers in a second cluster and the new server sends the routing data to the servers in the second cluster. If a server leaves the cluster and its record is removed. In this way and a cluster can respond to servers dynamically joining and leaving the cluster while reducing network traffic.
