Abstract

Illustrated is a system and method to receive an instruction to access a set of identified data structures, where each identified data structure is associated with a version data structure that includes annotations of particular dependencies amongst at least two members of the set of identical data structures. The system and method further comprising determining, based upon the dependencies, that a version mismatch exists between the at least two members of the set of identified data structures, the dependencies used to identify a most recent version and a locally cached version of the at least two members. The system and method further comprising delaying execution of the instruction until the version mismatch between the at least two members of the set of identified data structures is resolved through an upgrade of a version of one of the at least two members of the set of identified data structures.
