Abstract

A system and method for failover in a distributed system may comprise a computing device that receives client-provided information that groups computing nodes into ordered subsets. The subsets, or nodes in the subsets, may be associated with client-provided instructions for evaluating the health of a node. A node may be selected for failover based on executing the instructions and evaluating associated performance metrics. When a node is selected for failover, a replacement node may be selected based on the ordering of the subsets and the health of candidate nodes as determined based on executing the client-provided instructions.
