TIME-BASED NODE ELECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

The present application discloses a time-based node election method and apparatus. The method includes: configuring, by a host, a same voting time and a same vote counting time for all nodes; and sending time configuration information that carries the configured voting time and vote counting time to all the nodes, so that the nodes vote in the voting time, count the number of votes in the vote counting time, and elect a leader node according to a vote counting result. Campaign nodes synchronously perform the voting operation and the vote counting operation according to the same voting time and the same vote counting time that are configured by the host, thus overcoming the defect in the prior art that the timing of each node for voting and vote counting is uncertain, so that the efficiency of determining a leader node in a node election process is significantly improved.
