A method and apparatus for processing message is described. In one embodiment, an application programming interface is configured for receiving and sending messages. The application programming interface provides for a flush protocol to force members of a group to send all of their pending messages prior to a predetermined event, and to perform a message exchange phase as part of the flush protocol to allow all members of the group to see a same set of messages in a same view prior to installing a new view.
