How does Sprite handle server crashes?
What will be an ideal response?
Sprite is not fault tolerant because it does not use replication servers. Sprite places the
burden of state control on the clients, using a log-based file system with checkpointing on the
server. When clients realize that a server has crashed, they wait until it reboots. Once the
server is running again, clients send it information about their files that they have cached.The
server uses this information to rebuild its state.
