Abstract
Network partitions are inevitable in large-scale cloud systems. Despite developer's efforts in handling network partitions throughout designing, implementing and testing cloud systems, bugs caused by network partitions, i.e., partition bugs, still exist and cause severe failures in production clusters. It is challenging to expose these partition bugs because they often require network partitions to start and stop at specific timings.
