Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a distributed system scenario that fails due to omission failures. Consider how such issues could arise and what strategies might mitigate these problems.

💡 Hint: Explore mechanisms that enhance message reliability.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a small distributed application where omission failures can be tested. Outline methods for detecting and recovering from omission failures.

💡 Hint: Think about practical implementations for fault tolerance.
