Distributed systems

a failure in which a trigger pushes a distributed system into a bad state that sustains itself through a feedback loop even after the trigger is removed.

In distributed systems, metastable failure refers to a failure in which a trigger pushes a distributed system into a bad state that sustains itself through a feedback loop even after the trigger is removed. This meaning comes from Bronson (2021) in Proceedings of the Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems.[1]
