Claim 9:
10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the positive probabilistic set comprises a bloom filter, further comprising:
determining nodes on which respective replicas of the function are to be updated according to the deterministic process based on the function identifier and nodes that are determined to be in the cluster at the time of receipt of the update request;
generating a second bloom filter to encode the determined nodes where the replicas of the function are to be updated;
comparing the first bloom filter to the second bloom filter; and
in response to the comparison indicating at least one discrepancy, transmitting at least one further replica function update message to at least one further node to instruct update of its configured replica of the function according to the update requested by the client.
