- smnplk 10y agoYeah, but I think the point of distributed systems is to be partition tolerant, the system that you are describing is probably not a distributed system by definition. Or is it, i don't know, I have a plan to read a book on DS this year. From wiki, it looks like there are 3 main pillars to DS [1]: - concurrency of components - lack of global clock - independent failure of components So you need the failure tolerance part.
