Patent attributes
A method and an apparatus for processing a retransmission request in distributed computing are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a retransmission request to be processed in distributed computing; determining a target copy partition corresponding to the retransmission request based on respective partition response time information of individual copy partitions; sending the retransmission request to the target copy partition. Compared with existing technologies, the present disclosure distinguishes each partition with one another based on a partition response time of the respective copy partition to determine a target copy partition corresponding to a retransmission request, thus selecting a copy with a better response time during retransmission, reducing a response time for the retransmission request and reducing an overall load of an associated cluster.
