Abstract
A state manager provides transactional distributed lifecycle management of a group of different application-level state providers, namely, differently structured application program data structures. The state providers are atomic with respect to one another. The state provider is replicated to one or more secondary nodes of a distributed network. The state providers are persistent despite one or more node operational failures. State provider lifecycle operations include creation of a transactional distributed state provider as a member of a group of different application-level state providers which include differently structured application program data structures, deletion of a previously created transactional distributed state provider, and/or enumeration of any previously created transactional distributed state providers. A given state provider may be read or written by one or more applications. Implementation restrictions and other avoidance conditions are satisfied in particular cases.
