Does iBus provide failure detection and fault tolerance features?
Yes. The iBus//MessageBus features a group coordination API. Members (i.e. producers or consumers) on topics are detected and reported to user space. The list of members is ordered alphabetically. Members leaving (regardless of whether they leave controlled or due to a crash) are detected and reported as well. This feature allows to build powerful fault-tolerant distributed systems, such as distributed application server logic or web portals.
