In a distributed system, processes communicate over the network and may encounter deadlocks. How would you design a deadlock detection and recovery mechanism for such a system?
- Design a distributed lock manager to coordinate access
- Implement a distributed deadlock detection algorithm
- Use a timeout mechanism to detect potential deadlocks
- Utilize a distributed consensus protocol like Paxos
Implementing a distributed deadlock detection algorithm enables processes in a distributed system to detect potential deadlocks by exchanging information about their resource allocations. This approach helps in identifying circular wait conditions and allows for recovery strategies such as resource preemption or requesting additional resources to break the deadlock and restore system functionality.
