Load distribution in distributed database system

A server, comprising:

• an interfacing unit;
• and
• a processor configured to
• determine a state change in a network comprising the server as a master server among a plurality of servers,
• calculate a first lookup table, said first lookup table indicating respective partitions of a second lookup table distributed among active servers of said plurality of servers,
• distribute the calculated first lookup table to each active server via said interfacing unit, and
• based on the first lookup table generate a modified partition of the second lookup table.

A system comprising:

• (a) a server comprising:
• an interfacing unit;
• and
• a processor configured to
• determine a state change in a network comprising the server as a master server among a plurality of servers,
• calculate a first lookup table, said first lookup table indicating respective partitions of a second lookup table distributed among active servers of said plurality of servers,
• distribute the calculated first lookup table to each active server via said interfacing unit, and
• based on the first lookup table generate a modified partition of the second lookup table;
• and
• (b) at least one server comprising:
• an interfacing unit configured to receive a first look up table indicating respective partitions of a second lookup table distributed among a plurality of servers including the server as an active server;
• and
• a processor configured to generate a modified partition of the second lookup table based on the first lookup table.

A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium comprising processor implementable instructions for performing the following method steps:

• determining a state change in a network comprising a master server among a plurality of servers;
• calculating, at the master server, a first lookup table, said first lookup table indicating respective partitions of a second lookup table distributed among active servers of said plurality of servers;
• distributing the calculated first lookup table to each active server;
• and
• based on the first lookup table, generating, at the master server, a modified partition of the second lookup table.
