| One common pattern in the previous systems we have discussed like MapReduce, GFS, and VMware FT is that they all rely on a single entity to make the key decisions. While this has the advantage of making it easier for the system to decide, the downside of this approach is that the entity is now a single point of failure. In this post, we'll learn how the Raft consensus algorithm solves this problem.
