Method for operating a distributed computing system and a distributed computing system

摘要

A method for operating a distributed computing system includes transmitting, by a first node in a first level to an intermediate node in a second level, a first message and storing, by the first node, the first message. The method further includes receiving, by the intermediate node, the first message, generating a second message, and transmitting, to a third node, the second message. The method additionally includes receiving, by the intermediate node from the third node, a first acknowledgement message indicating that the second message was successfully received by the third node, and transmitting, by the intermediate node to the first node after receiving the first acknowledgement message, a second acknowledgement message. The method includes deleting, by the first node in response to receiving the second acknowledgment message, the stored first message.
