Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You work on a distributed system observing frequent consensus failures due to clock skew. Propose a robust strategy combining both synchronization and logical clocks to address the issue.
💡 Hint: Combine both tactics for best results.
Question 2
Develop a hypothetical scenario where clock skew leads to severe consequences in a critical application (e.g., financial or medical). Outline the details and impacts of skew on the application's operation.
💡 Hint: Focus on processes being out of sync and the resulting chaos.
