In Search of an Understandable Consensus AlgorithmIn Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm (Extended Version) Diego Ongaro and John Ousterhout Stanford University Abstract 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 foundat
