Abstract

A computer-implemented method for managing sub-clusters within a multi-cluster computing system subsequent to a network-partition event may include: 1) identifying a plurality of computer clusters, 2) identifying a network-partition event that partitions each of the plurality of computer clusters into multiple sub-clusters, 3) identifying, within the multiple sub-clusters, a plurality of nodes that share a common attribute or property, and then 4) ensuring that only those nodes that share the common attribute survive subsequent to the network-partition event. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
