Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is implemented by a server in a server cluster. A request received from a client includes a session identifier (ID) identifying a session between the client and the server, and a correlation ID that is linked to the request. If the correlation ID is not included in an individual server-specific session microcache for the session, the request is processed to determine a response, the response is added to the session microcache, and the response and an indication of the correlation ID are sent to the client. If the correlation ID and a response to the request are stored in the session microcache, the response and an indication of the correlation ID are re-sent to the client. The session ID and session microcache are transferred to another of the plurality of servers in the server cluster to continue the session.
