ensures completeness no matter how many failures
occur simultaneously, and no matter how large the
group is?
1. Centralized heartbeating
2. Ring heartbeating

Membership: Gossip-Style Membership at 05:34

In gossip-style failure detection, why should an
entry not be deleted right after its detected as
failed?
1. Because other processes may not have
deleted that entry and it may be added back
2. Because that node may not have actually
failed
3. Because one cannot delete membership
entries
ANSWERS: 1

Membership: Dissemination and Suspicion at 03:51

In a system with N processes using the SWIM

detected at one process, to disseminate through the
group?
1. O(log(N)) time
2. O(N) time
3. O(1) time
4. None of these options
