Abstract: To checkpoint a shared state in a distributed system, a node may first isolate itself from communication with other nodes of a distributed system. The node may then store a checkpoint of the shared state. The node then restarts and attempts to initialize its operating state from the stored checkpoint. In response to successfully initializing its operating state, the node restores communication with one or more other nodes of the distributed system. The node then indicates to the one or more other nodes that the stored checkpoint of the shared state is valid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing tasks offloaded from one or more user devices to a cloud service. An example method generally includes receiving a command to be processed by the cloud service from a first device of a group of user devices.

Abstract: A data intake and query system collects performance data from client devices and host devices and stores the performance data in one or more indexes. The system is further configured to facilitate correlation of the performance data collected from the client devices and the separate performance data collected from the host devices. For example, based on a determination that one or more identifiers stored in a portion of performance data received from client devices match one or more identifiers stored in a portion of the performance data received from host devices, a data intake and query may determine that the data portions are related. The portions of performance data, for example, may correspond to events the data intake and query system derives from the performance data collected from both client devices and host devices.

Abstract: A user who is a member of a message distribution group may wish to be temporarily removed from receiving all future messages sent to a distribution group or from receiving select future messages sent to a distribution group. The user can send a request to temporarily leave the distribution group and provide criteria or conditions which would cause the user to be automatically rejoined to the distribution group for receiving future messages. A user can also request to receive messages sent to the distribution group during the user's temporary absence from the distribution group upon rejoining the distribution group.

Abstract: Techniques for establishing and implementing application-based routing policies for multi-mode wireless communication devices are described. In some examples, information particular to the profile and platform configuration of the UE, including an identifier of an operating system, is communicated to an Access Network Discovery Function (ANDSF) server. The ANDSF server may provide an inter-system routing policy (ISRP) to handle appropriate network offloading actions for the particular application and device configuration. In some examples, the ISRP may be specific to flow-based or non-seamless based traffic offloading from certain software applications and include nodes to define routing rules based on an operating system identifier and operating system-specific application identifier. The policy may be propagated from the ANDSF server and implemented in multi-mode UE mobile computing devices in connection with offloading policies established in a 3GPP LTE/LTE-A Evolved Packet Core network architecture.

Abstract: A system for processing a purge request is disclosed. The purge request is received. An availability state for each content distribution node in a group of content distribution nodes is stored. Based on the purge request, one or more purge instructions are generated for one or more available state content distribution nodes of the group. Based on the purge request, one or more delayed purge instructions are queued for one or more unavailable state content distribution nodes of the group. It is determined that the one or more available state content distribution nodes of the group have completed processing the one or more purge instructions generated for the one or more available state content distribution nodes. Based at least in part on the queuing of the one or more delayed purge instructions for the one or more unavailable state nodes, it is confirmed that the purge request has been completed.
