Abstract: Methods and systems to detect and resolve failure in a distributed database system is described herein. A first node in the distributed database system can detect an interruption in communication with at least one other node in the distributed database system. This indicates a network failure. In response to detection of this failure, the first node starts a failure resolution protocol. This invokes coordinated broadcasts of respective lists of suspicious nodes among neighbor nodes. Each node compares its own list of suspicious nodes with its neighbors' lists of suspicious nodes to determine which nodes are still directly connected to each other. Each node determines the largest group of these directly connected nodes and whether or not it is in that group. If a node isn't in that group, it fails itself to resolve the network failure.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling resources within a cloud computing system to interact with each other. In certain embodiments, a base identifier assigned to a first resource is extended by mapping the base identifier onto a second identifier assigned to a logical resource that is built upon the first resource.

Consequently, the first resource may be provided with access privileges different from those associated with the base identifier. For example, the first resource may access another resource in the tenancy using the second identifier, but may have no access to the other resource using the base identifier.
