Claim Text:
1. A method for replicating entries in an application-state, distributed replication table to track resources of applications across a cluster of nodes, the method comprising: maintaining, by each node in a cluster of nodes, a partition of a plurality of partitions of an application-state, distributed replication table, the application-state, distributed replication table distributed across the plurality of nodes, the application-state, distributed replication table comprising entries to track resources of applications across the cluster of nodes; detecting, by a node in the cluster of nodes, a change in a number of nodes in the cluster; determining, by the node, for a plurality of entries stored in the application-state, distributed replication table, whether the node remains assigned as an owner for each of the plurality of entries; determining, by the node, that the node is not currently assigned as the owner of an entry in the partition of the application-state, distributed replication table maintained by the node; and marking, responsive to the determination, the entry as a cached copy of the entry for a second node in the cluster of nodes to which the entry is now assigned.
