Raft consensus mechanism and the applications

Abstract

Raft consensus algorithm is one of the commonly used consensus algorithms in distributed systems. It is mainly used to manage the consistency of log replication. It has the same function as Paxos, but compared to Paxos, Raft algorithm is easier to understand and easier to apply to actual systems. The Raft algorithm is a consensus algorithm adopted by the alliance chain. This article describes the details of Raft consensus algorithm and its application in detail.
