Raft log implementation
Documentation
//! Core type definitions for the Raft-log implementation.
//!
//! This module defines the `Types` trait which serves as a type system for the
//! entire Raft-log implementation. It allows users to customize core data types
//! such as log id, log payload, vote, callback, and user data.

/// The `Types` trait defines the core type parameters used throughout the
/// Raft-log implementation.
///
/// This trait provides an abstraction layer for the log implementation by
/// defining the core types used throughout the system. Implementations can
/// customize the concrete types for: log id, log payload, vote, callback, and
/// user data.
