Dynamic balancing of operations by selecting subsets of nodes

A method implemented by a computing system including one or more processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, wherein the method is performed using the one or more processors, the method comprising:

• running a set of operation nodes, the set of operation nodes including operation nodes configured to perform operations;
• identifying a set of clients that uses one or more of the operations;
• determining loads of operations associated with the set of clients;
• identifying subsets of operation nodes to be assigned to subsets of clients based on the loads of operations associated with the set of clients, comprising:
• determining a cost from obtaining a consensus among the subsets of operation nodes during one or more operations of the subsets of clients;
• and
• identifying subsets of operation nodes to be assigned to subsets of clients based on the determined cost,
• the subsets of operation nodes including a given subset of operation nodes to be assigned to a given subset of clients;
• and
• assigning the subsets of operation nodes to the subsets of clients such that the given subset of operation nodes is assigned to perform one or more of the operations for the given subset of clients.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform:

• running a set of operation nodes, the set of operation nodes including operation nodes configured to perform operations;
• identifying a set of clients that uses one or more of the operations;
• determining loads of operations associated with the set of clients;
• identifying subsets of operation nodes to be assigned to subsets of clients based on the loads of operations associated with the set of clients, comprising:
• determining a cost from obtaining a consensus among the subsets of operation nodes during one or more operations of the subsets of clients;
• and
• identifying subsets of operation nodes to be assigned to subsets of clients based on the determined cost,
• the subsets of operation nodes including a given subset of operation nodes to be assigned to a given subset of clients;
• and
• assigning the subsets of operation nodes to the subsets of clients such that the given subset of operation nodes is assigned to perform one or more of the operations for the given subset of clients.
