Abstract
A particular node of a distributed state manager (DSM) detects a triggering condition for an initiation of a DSM initialization protocol. The particular node transmits a first bootstrap message to a second node of a proposed members list of a first proposed DSM configuration, comprising at least a joined members list and metadata indicative of state transitions for which processing of respective commit requests has been at least initiated at the particular node. In response to a determination that an initialization protocol for a particular DSM configuration indicated in a different bootstrap message received at the particular node has been completed, the particular nodes proposes itself as a coordinator of the particular DSM configuration based at least in part on an analysis of state transition metadata indicated in the different bootstrap message.
