However, reviewers of previous versions of this paper pointed out that the descriptions of a databaseId and the closely related AddServer RPC would benefit from having an explicit initialization step as part of
Raft was designed in reaction to issues with understanding and implementing the canonicalPaxosalgorithm: Paxos has been considered for many years the defining algorithm for solving the consensus problem and found in many real-world systems in some form or another. Yet, Paxos is considered by many ...
Part 1/3: Introduction to the problem of consensus, why it matters (even to non-PhDs), how the specification of the Raft algorithm is an important contribution to the field and a peek at the actual real-world uses of consensus algorithms. Part 2/3: Overview over the core mechanics that...
Raft is a consensus algorithm for managing a replicated log. It produces a result equivalent to (multi-)Paxos, and it is as efficient as Paxos, but its structure is different from Paxos; this makes Raft more understandable than Paxos and also provides a better foundation for building practical...

Furthermore,we wanted the algorithm to facilitate the development of intuitions that are essential for system builders. It was important not just for the algorithmto work, but for it to be obvious why it works. The result of this work is a consensus algorithm called Raft. ...
Raft is a consensus algorithm for managing a replicated log. 对日志式文件进行冗余存储,确保日志的强一致性。 特点:Understandable:a. for building practical systems. b. for students to learn. c. for the development of intuitions. 主要通过decomposition和state space reduction手段。还有类似于其它一致性协...
在上一篇文章中,通过阅读《In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm》前三节的内容,对论文的大致内容做了简介,简单说明了一下 Replicated state machines 的用途以及 Paxos 本身存在的问题。 4. Designing for understandability several goals in designing Raft: ...
As with all distributed consensus protocols, the devil is very much in the details. In the steady state where there are no failures, Raft’s behavior is easy to understand, and can be explained in an intuitive manner. For example, it is simple to see from the visualizations that, assuming...
