jgroups-raft

jgroups-raft is an implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm in JGroups. Users can use jgroups-raft embedded in their applications to build strongly consistent, highly available, fault-tolerant systems.

Overview

jgroups-raft is a library offering all the guarantees the Raft algorithm provides, with features including:

• Configurable and alternatives for leader election;
• Dynamic membership changes in single-step;
• Configurable log implementations for storage;
• Member deduplication and request redirection;
• Ready-to-use building blocks.

By building on top of JGroups, jgroups-raft takes advantage of additional features with a mature and battle-tested network stack. jgroups-raft is verified with Jepsen to identify linearizability violations in the building blocks.
