I have a lot of questions about this paper. Parts of it aren't clear to me.
Is anyone aware of a forum where consensus algorithms are discussed? A mailing list, subreddit, or website?
I found a Raft mailing list a while ago, but I'm looking for a place for a more general discussion, where real experts hang out.
- jvanderbot 8y agoI believe you have to go through literature to get this kind of back-and-forth. At least, that's how I manage, even if that feels slow and opinionated.
- macintux 8y agoFor questions specifically about this paper, you might have luck with Adrian Colyer's take on it: https://blog.acolyer.org/2019/03/08/a-generalised-solution-to-distributed-consensus/ https://blog.acolyer.org/2019/03/08/a-generalised-solution-t... Or Howard's blog post: https://hh360.user.srcf.net/blog/2019/02/towards-an-intuitive-high-performance-consensus-algorithm/ https://hh360.user.srcf.net/blog/2019/02/towards-an-intuitiv... Twitter used to be a useful place for general distsys discussions, but I haven't been around for a few years now so I'm not certain how much still takes place. This tweet, for example, I would have expected to see more people chime in on. https://twitter.com/adriancolyer/status/1103935905948028928 https://twitter.com/adriancolyer/status/1103935905948028928 There's a distributed systems theory Google Group, but it appears to have completely died off: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/distsys-discuss https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/distsys-discuss To inquire what avenues for theoretical discussion are currently active, I would suggest reaching out on Twitter to Chris Meiklejohn (cmeik), Michael Bernstein (mrb_bk) or Kyle Kingsbury (aphyr).
