    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to failover mechanisms in a distributed computing system. A region of data is managed by multiple region servers. One of the region servers is elected as a “leader” and the remaining are “followers.” The leader serves the read/write requests from a client. The leader writes the data received from the client into the in-memory store and a local write-ahead log (“WAL”), and synchronously replicates the WAL to the followers. A region server designated as an “active” region server synchronizes a distributed data store with the data from the WAL. Active witness followers apply the data from the WAL to their in-memory store while shadow witness followers do not. Different types of servers provide failover mechanisms with different characteristics. A leader is elected based on their associated ranks—higher the rank, higher the likelihood of electing itself as a leader.

    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure include features and functionality that reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) specifications for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by combining flight control functionality with mission processing functionality within common hardware. By implementing flight control and mission processing functionality using common hardware, systems and methods described herein decrease costs associated with developing, producing, servicing, and operating UAVs. Moreover, the systems and methods described herein include features that reduce the SWaP for the UAV while providing further redundancies that maintain reliability of the UAV.
