Paper: Raft #11

Closed edmellum closed 11 years ago

edmellum commented 11 years ago

Raft is an attempt at making a consensus algorithm that is easily understandable(compared with Paxos). https://ramcloud.stanford.edu/wiki/download/attachments/11370504/raft.pdf

+1 for Raft, especially since Chubby is already on the list. Raft is so much better than Paxos, and I think there's a lot of value in encouraging people to think about consensus in terms of Raft instead of Paxos (because then they'll stop writing bad Paxos implementations)

Thanks for the suggestion @edmellum @ebroder! I hadn't previously read this |: But I'm reading it now.
