Heartbeat detection method and apparatus of distributed platform

[0027] The embodiment of the present application proposes a heartbeat detection method for a distributed platform, which not only detects the online status of the terminal device, but also detects whether the terminal device has the ability to perform distributed tasks, so as to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0028] A network environment applied in the embodiments of this application is such as figure 1 As shown, the access device 10, the access device 30, and the master node 20 are nodes of a distributed platform, which are mutually accessible through the network; the access device 10 connects the terminal devices 11, 12, and 13 to the distributed platform, and Heartbeat detection is performed on the terminal devices 11, 12, and 13; the access device 30 connects the terminal devices 31 and 32 to the distributed platform; and the heartbeat detection is performed on the terminal devices 11, 12, and 13. The access device can be a PC, a laptop, a physical or virtual server, etc.
