METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR INITIATING, FORMING AND JOINING MEMBERSHIPS IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of deploying a membership of nodes in a distributed computing system, comprising;
- selecting nodes to be part of membership of nodes to be deployed;
creating a membership task identifying a membership creator node as the node that is creating the membership to be deployed and comprising a membership target identifying at least one node of the distributed computing system that is to become a member of the membership; and
creating a beacon configured to send, over a computer network, a create membership message to each node identified in the membership target, the create membership message comprising at least an identity of the membership task and an identification of the membership to be deployed;
upon receiving a response from a node in the membership target;
removing the node from which the response was received from the beacon; and
deploying the membership when a response has been received from each of the nodes identified in the membership target.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of deploying a membership of nodes in a distributed computing system may comprise selecting nodes to be part of a membership of nodes; creating a membership task identifying a membership creator node as the node that is creating the membership and comprising a membership target identifying at least one node of the distributed computing system that is to become a member of the membership; and creating a beacon configured to send a create membership message to each identified node, the create membership message comprising at least an identity of the membership task and an identification of the membership. Upon receiving a response from a node in the membership target, the node from which the response was received may be removed from the beacon. The membership may be deployed when a response has been received from each of the nodes identified in the membership target.

11. A computing device, comprising:
-
a memory; a processor; and a plurality of processes spawned by the processor, the processes being configured to cause the computing device to deploy a membership of nodes in a distributed computing system, the plurality of processes comprising processing logic to; select nodes to be part of membership of nodes to be deployed; create as membership task identifying a membership creator node as the node that is creating the membership to be deployed and comprising a membership target identifying at least one node of the distributed computing system that is to become a member of the membership; create a beacon configured to send, over a computer network, a create membership message to each node identified in the membership target, the create membership message comprising at least an identity of the membership task and an identification of the membership to be deployed; and upon receiving a response from a node in the membership target; remove the node from which the response was received from the beacon; and deploy the membership when a response has been received from each of the nodes identified in the membership target. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

21. A tangible machine-readable medium having data stored thereon representing sequences of instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to deploy a membership of nodes in a distributed computing system by:
-
selecting nodes to be part of membership of nodes to be deployed; creating a membership task identifying a membership creator node as the node that is creating the membership to be deployed and comprising a membership target identifying at least one node of the distributed computing system that is to become a member of the membership; and creating a beacon configured to send, over a computer network, a create membership message to each node identified in the membership target, the create membership message comprising at least an identity of the membership task and an identification of the membership to be deployed; upon receiving a response from a node in the membership target; removing the node from which the response was received from the beacon; and deploying the membership when a response has been received from each of the nodes identified in the membership target. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30)
