Deadline extension and reduced requirements in HW2 | |
|
We have decided to postpone the deadline of home assignment #2 by one week, till Thursday 27/1/2022. Home assignment #3 (dry) will be published tomorrow (Monday) with the same deadline, but it will at least give you flexibility is managing your time. In addition, the implementation of atomic lists becomes a bonus requirement (9 pts) - you do not have to do it. Also, you may choose to only do 2 out 4 from the following list of requirements (the other 2 become a bonus of 3 pts each): 1) Atomic broadcast using multipaxos. The alternative that would not give you the bonus points is to use a single server for the total ordering. 2) The entire Ledger transaction history method. 3) The rest API. The alternative that would not qualify for the bonus is to use gRPC methods instead of HTTP based requests. Be sure to either name your gRPC methods or note besides the methods what resource and verb you’d for a restful api. For e.g. a get-student-by-id-with-grade-type rpc could be labeled with GET /students/{id}?gradetype={type}. An example in protocol buffers Option 1: service MyRestAPISimulationService { // GET /students/{id}?gradetype={type} message GetStudentByIDWithGradeTypeRequest { <type> id = …; <type> gradeType = …; } message GetStudentByIDWithGradeTypeResponse { … } rpc GetStudentByIDWithGradeType(GetStudentByIDWithGradeTypeRequest) returns (GetStudentByIDWithGradeTypeResponse); } Option 2: service RESTfulAPIService { message RESTfulRequest { string resource = 1; enum Verbs { GET = 0; POST = 1; PUT = 2; DELETE =3; } Verb verb = 2; map<string,string> params = 3; string body = 4; } message RESTfulResponse { string resource = 1; string body = 2; string result = 3; } rpc SendRESTfulRequest(RESTfulRequest) returns (RESTfulResponse); } 4) Use of docker containers. |
