Abstract
A method includes determining, by a computing device, to change a node of a hierarchical index structure. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, whether one or more other computing devices are attempting to change the node. The method further includes, when yes, determining, by the computing device and/or the other computing device(s), to use a delegate device to process multiple change requests to the node. The method further includes, when determined to use the delegate device, sending, by the computing device, a message to the delegate device requesting the delegate device to process the change to the node. The method further includes coordinating, by the delegate device, requested changes to the node by the computing device and the other computing device(s). The method further includes updating, by the delegate device, the node in accordance with the coordinating of the requested changes.
