consensus

README

This is a simple implementation of the Raft distributed consensus algorithm in Go. Module structure allows to add and test diffrent consensus algorithms

Project structure

pkg/rpc

• Network package that is based on net/rpc. Provides basic RPC client/server types and utilities

pkg/node

• Peer-to-peer network node implemented with pkg/net tools
• This package depends only on pkg/net and is designed to be consensus-agnostic

pkg/consensus

• Main packange that contains consensus algorithms. This is the intended place to put a new algorithm or a decorated version of an existing one to
• This package depends on pkg/net package which provides necessary means for managing a peer-to-peer network

To launch a throwaway build

go build ./...

To run tests

go test ./...
