Example 6: 3 node cluster, 1 peer fails to join due to 1 peer dying during 3-phase join

• Nodes A, B, and C fully in the cluster

• Local state before (1): {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a}}

• D wants to join

• D sends prepare-join-cluster (1)

• A, B, C, and D play the log

• D encounters (1)

  • Pre: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a}}
  • Post: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a} :prepared {:d :a}}
  • determines D will attach to A. Records this in the local state.
  • adds watch to A
  • C dies. B sends leave-cluster (2) for C.
  • sends notify-join-cluster (3)

• A, B, C encounters (1)

  • Pre: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a}}
  • Post: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a} :prepared {:d :a}}
  • ignore

• A, C encounter (2):

  • Pre: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a} :prepared {:d :a}}
  • Post: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :a}}

• B encounters (2):

  • Pre: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a} :prepared {:d :a}}
  • Post: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :a}}
  • transitively closes the gap, adds watch to A

• D encounters (2):

  • Pre: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :c, :c :a} :prepared {:d :a}}
  • Post: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :a}}
  • Aborts

• A, B, C encounter (3):

  • Pre: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :a}}
  • Post: {:pairs {:a :b, :b :a}}
  • ignore
