Techniques for Programming with Groups

  • Program Structure for Groups
    Programs using the group facility follow this template.
  • Activation Interval
    When a member becomes disconnected, the group facility revises the ordinals of the remaining members, which respond by adjusting their operating roles. This process is not instantaneous: it takes time to detect, to revise, and to adjust.
  • Disconnect
    Ordinal -1 indicates that the group member is disconnected from the group service.
