Hazelcast employs various strategies and mechanisms to handle network partitioning, ensuring data consistency and cluster stability even in the presence of network partitions.
Network partitioning occurs when communication between nodes in a distributed system is disrupted, leading to the formation of disjointed sub-networks (partitions).
Here's how Hazelcast handles network partitioning :
* Split-Brain Protection
* Quorum-based Consistency
* Cluster Merge
* Node Health Monitoring
* Network Configuration and Tuning
* Dynamic Cluster Management
By employing these strategies and mechanisms, Hazelcast ensures robust handling of network partitioning, enabling distributed systems to maintain data consistency, availability, and stability in dynamic and challenging network environments.
