Can someone familiar with this topic explain how the Raft consensus protocol is different from the other popular consensus protocols?

  Raft achieves consensus with a log as opposed to a single value. This makes it ideal for databases as they are already working with a write log.

  Also, it seems that Raft is easier to understand and implement, according to some papers and blog posts I skimmed.
