Fecha de publicación: 09/04/2020 Fuente: WIPO "hive" A method and system for processing data is disclosed. The system has a storage for storing a log, a state machine communicatively coupled to the storage for maintaining the log by executing log-actions, where the log stores indications of the processed data. The state machine has a plurality of generations each of which has a respective GUID. A single one of the generations is designated as a master generation of the state machine at any given moment in time. The master generation has exclusive privileges for executing write log-actions to the log at the any given moment in time. The method includes transmitting, by a master-candidate generation, a block request to the log that is instrumental in (i) preventing execution of write log-actions from any generation having a given GUID that is inferior the GUID of the master-candidate, and allowing execution of write log-actions exclusively from the master-candidate.
