Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a distributed system with three processes (A, B, C). Process A sends a message to B just before recording its state. Later, C receives that message after recording its state. Analyze whether the resulting snapshot can be consistent.
💡 Hint: Check the conditions of message passing and recording to understand the implications.
Design a distributed application that uses the Chandy-Lamport algorithm for maintaining consistency across a transaction system. What would be the potential issues and how could they be addressed?
💡 Hint: Consider the roles of each process in staying synchronized while still operating independently.
