| | 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.

In this post, we'll learn how the Raft consensus algorithm solves this problem.

| | The CAP theorem says that in the event of a network partition, a distributed system can be either consistent or available, not both. Let us first define some of the terms in the CAP theorem. A distributed system is a group of independent computers coordinating with each other to solve a problem. The group of...
