Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
In a cloud-based application, two different nodes process transactions at the same time, but their clocks are skewed by 10 seconds. Analyze the impact this may have on the transaction logs and how this could lead to data inconsistency.
๐ก Hint: Consider the importance of temporal accuracy in replication and ordering.
Question 2
Imagine you are designing a synchronization protocol for a distributed database application where only the relative ordering of actions matters. What synchronization method would you choose: external or internal, and why?
๐ก Hint: Think about the requirements of your application regarding timing and accuracy.
