Haret: A strongly consistent distributed coordination system implemented in Rust

• ealexhudson 9y ago
  This was interesting reading to fill in the "why": https://github.com/vmware/haret/blob/master/docs/why.md https://github.com/vmware/haret/blob/master/docs/why.md Short story; looks a bit like etcd or consul (in terms of data), using Viewstamped Replication.

    This is also intended to be a coordination system that is written in a language that makes it easier to embed (no GC, heavy runtime). Good to see https://github.com/andrewjstone https://github.com/andrewjstone 's work getting ready for wider adoption.

  I can't tell - but, can the distributed-consensus portion of this be published as a library on crates.io? I...assume so, looking at the code structure.

    Anyone needing that can also extract tikv's raft implementation. It's actually quite easy.

  Nice to see View Stamped Replication getting some love, to balance out all the Raft mania. Having such an essential core service implemented in a low-dependency non-GC runtime is good too.

    Yes, Viewstamped Replication is underappreciated! It is actually older than Paxos, although the original paper is pretty incomprehensible too. The more recent "Viewstamped Replication Revisited" paper is probably my favorite introduction to consensus protocols and their use in a real system: http://pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/vr-revisited.pdf http://pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/vr-revisited.pdf

  This is partly by Justin Sheehy, ex Basho (Riak) CTO.

    Andrew Stone is also ex-Basho ;)
