Crate little_raft[−][src]
Expand description
This crate is a small but full-featured implementation of the Raft distributed consensus protocol. By using this library, you can run a replicated state machine in your own cluster. The cluster could be comprised of dozens of physical servers in different parts of the world or of two threads on a single CPU.
The goal of this library is to provide a generic implementation of the algorithm that the library user can leverage in their own way. It is entirely up to the user how to configure the Raft cluster, how to ensure communication between the nodes, how to process client’s messages, how to do service discovery, and what kind of state machine to replicate.
The implementation is kept as simple as possible on purpose, with the entire library code base fitting in under 1,000 lines of code.
