Features of Coordinator Data View

• When entities from two different sources are unified into a single name space, no distribution algorithm is used to locate entries that are still stored under separate data sources.

• When naming services are deployed with a directory servers hierarchy, the queries would hit the local server first. If no matching entry is found, the query would contact a more global server.

• When data is distributed among multiple data views, the Coordinator data view groups the distributed data views to appear as a single data view which can be further used as a primary or secondary data view in Join Data View. In this way, the Coordinator data view enables entry aggregation and distribution.

• When the distribution key is not available in the query, the Coordinator data view routes the request to a distribution data view that further iterates across the distributed data views to locate the entry.
