Abstract

Method, system, and programs for resolving data inconsistency in a distributed system having a plurality of replica instances. In response to a read request of at least one data element, a key-specific probability value for the at least one data element of the read request is retrieved. Based on the retrieved key-specific probability value and a system load of the distributed system, a self-healing probability of the at least one data element of the read request is computed. A self-healing transaction that includes the at least one data element of the read request is then generated based on the self-healing probability of the at least one data element. The generated self-healing transaction is further applied to at least some of the plurality of replica instances in the distributed system to resolve data inconsistency.
