Abstract
Abstract. In a distributed system, long-running distributed services are often confronted with changes to the configuration of the underlying hardware. If the service is required to be highly available, the service needs to deal with the problem of adapting to these changes while still providing its service. This problem is increased further if multiple changes can occur concurrently. In this paper, we describe a method that solves this problem by carefully shipping data and forwarding requests to appropriate hosts. Our method specifically enables the distributed service to deal with concurrent changes in a concurrent fashion, thereby promoting the efficiency of the service. 1.
