Patent number: 9734185Abstract: In a method for providing communication integrity within a distributed database computer system, a first node of a plurality of nodes transmits a change notification to a second node of the plurality of nodes. The change notification indicates that the first node has changed from a first version to a second version. The first node receives at least one change confirmation from the second node. The change confirmation confirms acknowledgment of the change notification by the second node and by a third node of the plurality of nodes. The first node updates a version table of the first node to show that the second node and the third node know that the first node has changed from the first version to the second version.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sushma Anantharam, Amitabha Biswas, Nirapada Ghosh, Harshad S.
