In raft all client connections to followers redirected to use the current master.

Raft is equivalent to (multi-)Paxos
- nieksand 13y agoHaving followers redirect to the leader is how the paper describes the algorithm. But I don't think there is anything stopping you from having followers service committed log entry reads, provided you're willing to live with being out-of-date.
- tomjohnson3 13y agoi don't think this is the case. here is a link to a video by one of the authors about log repair during leader election: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YbZ3zDzDnrw#t=1481 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YbZ... log entries on a follower may get rolled back - and thrown out - since they were not accepted on a majority of followers.
- codexon 13y agoDoes this mean that there is no read scaling? The master server must be able to handle the entire read load?
