Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for operating a plurality of nodes within a network are provided. Using a monitoring node, a subgroup of the plurality of nodes is monitored, the subgroup including the monitoring node and a non-monitoring node. The non-monitoring node is configured to not manage a distributed database distributed among all monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, other non-monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, and the monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes and is configured to not store replicated data from other ones of the plurality of nodes.
Claims17
A method for operating a plurality of nodes within a network, the method comprising:
- monitoring, using a monitoring node, a subgroup of the plurality of nodes, the subgroup including the monitoring node and a non-monitoring node, the non-monitoring node configured to not manage a distributed database distributed among all monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, other non-monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, and the monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes and configured to not store replicated data from other ones of the plurality of nodes;
- exchanging information from the subgroup with a monitoring node of another subgroup of the plurality of nodes over the network, using the monitoring node;
- and
- retrieving information from the non-monitoring node and storing the information to the distributed database.
A system for operating a network, the system comprising:
- a plurality of nodes including at least one subgroup including a monitoring node and a non-monitoring node, the monitoring node including:
- a processor device, and
- a memory including instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor device causes the monitoring node to:
- monitor the subgroup of the plurality of nodes, the subgroup including the monitoring node and the non-monitoring node, the non-monitoring node configured to not manage a distributed database distributed among all monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, other non-monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, and the monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes and configured to not store replicated data from other ones of the plurality of nodes;
- exchange information from the subgroup with a monitoring node of another subgroup of the plurality of nodes over the network;
- and
- retrieve information from the non-monitoring node and storing the information to the distributed database.
A computer program product for operating a plurality of nodes within a network, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- a first executable code portion for monitoring, using a monitoring node, a subgroup of the plurality of nodes, the subgroup including the monitoring node and a non-monitoring node, the non-monitoring node configured to not manage a distributed database distributed among all monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, other non-monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes, and the monitoring nodes of the plurality of nodes and configured to not store replicated data from other ones of the plurality of nodes;
- a second executable code portion for a second executable code portion for exchanging information from the subgroup with a monitoring node of another subgroup of the plurality of nodes over the network, using the monitoring node;
- and
- a third executable portion for retrieving information from the non-monitoring node and storing the information to the distributed database.
