Software

raft Build Status

raft is a Go library that manages a replicated log and can be used with an FSM to manage replicated state machines. It is a library for providing consensus.

The use cases for such a library are far-reaching as replicated state machines are a key component of many distributed systems. They enable building Consistent, Partition Tolerant (CP) systems, with limited fault tolerance as well.

Building

If you wish to build raft you'll need Go version 1.2+ installed.

Please check your installation with:

go version

Documentation

For complete documentation, see the associated Godoc.

To prevent complications with cgo, the primary backend MDBStore is in a separate repository, called raft-mdb. That is the recommended implementation for the LogStore and StableStore.

A pure Go backend using BoltDB is also available called raft-boltdb. It can also be used as a LogStore and StableStore.

Protocol

raft is based on "Raft: In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm"

A high level overview of the Raft protocol is described below, but for details please read the full Raft paper followed by the raft source. Any questions about the raft protocol should be sent to the raft-dev mailing list.

Protocol Description

Raft nodes are always in one of three states: follower, candidate or leader. All nodes initially start out as a follower. In this state, nodes can accept log entries from a leader and cast votes. If no entries are received for some time, nodes self-promote to the candidate state. In the candidate state nodes request votes from their peers. If a candidate receives a quorum of votes, then it is promoted to a leader. The leader must accept new log entries and replicate to all the other followers. In addition, if stale reads are not acceptable, all queries must also be performed on the leader.

Once a cluster has a leader, it is able to accept new log entries. A client can request that a leader append a new log entry, which is an opaque binary blob to Raft. The leader then writes the entry to durable storage and attempts to replicate to a quorum of followers. Once the log entry is considered committed, it can be applied to a finite state machine. The finite state machine is application specific, and is implemented using an interface.

An obvious question relates to the unbounded nature of a replicated log. Raft provides a mechanism by which the current state is snapshotted, and the log is compacted. Because of the FSM abstraction, restoring the state of the FSM must result in the same state as a replay of old logs. This allows Raft to capture the FSM state at a point in time, and then remove all the logs that were used to reach that state. This is performed automatically without user intervention, and prevents unbounded disk usage as well as minimizing time spent replaying logs.

Lastly, there is the issue of updating the peer set when new servers are joining or existing servers are leaving. As long as a quorum of nodes is available, this is not an issue as Raft provides mechanisms to dynamically update the peer set. If a quorum of nodes is unavailable, then this becomes a very challenging issue. For example, suppose there are only 2 peers, A and B. The quorum size is also 2, meaning both nodes must agree to commit a log entry. If either A or B fails, it is now impossible to reach quorum. This means the cluster is unable to add, or remove a node, or commit any additional log entries. This results in unavailability. At this point, manual intervention would be required to remove either A or B, and to restart the remaining node in bootstrap mode.

A Raft cluster of 3 nodes can tolerate a single node failure, while a cluster of 5 can tolerate 2 node failures. The recommended configuration is to either run 3 or 5 raft servers. This maximizes availability without greatly sacrificing performance.

In terms of performance, Raft is comparable to Paxos. Assuming stable leadership, committing a log entry requires a single round trip to half of the cluster. Thus performance is bound by disk I/O and network latency.

type NetworkTransport 

type NetworkTransport struct {
	TimeoutScale int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

NetworkTransport provides a network based transport that can be used to communicate with Raft on remote machines. It requires an underlying stream layer to provide a stream abstraction, which can be simple TCP, TLS, etc.

This transport is very simple and lightweight. Each RPC request is framed by sending a byte that indicates the message type, followed by the MsgPack encoded request.

The response is an error string followed by the response object, both are encoded using MsgPack.

InstallSnapshot is special, in that after the RPC request we stream the entire state. That socket is not re-used as the connection state is not known if there is an error.

	stream StreamLayer,
	maxPool int,
	timeout time.Duration,
	logger *log.Logger,
) *NetworkTransport

func (r *Raft) AppliedIndex() uint64

AppliedIndex returns the last index applied to the FSM. This is generally lagging behind the last index, especially for indexes that are persisted but have not yet been considered committed by the leader. NOTE - this reflects the last index that was sent to the application's FSM over the apply channel but DOES NOT mean that the application's FSM has yet consumed it and applied it to its internal state. Thus, the application's state may lag behind this index.

func (*Raft) Apply 

func (r *Raft) Apply(cmd []byte, timeout time.Duration) ApplyFuture

Apply is used to apply a command to the FSM in a highly consistent manner. This returns a future that can be used to wait on the application. An optional timeout can be provided to limit the amount of time we wait for the command to be started. This must be run on the leader or it will fail.

Keys are: "state", "term", "last_log_index", "last_log_term", "commit_index", "applied_index", "fsm_pending", "last_snapshot_index", "last_snapshot_term", "num_peers" and "last_contact".

The value of "state" is a numerical value representing a RaftState const.

The value of "last_contact" is either "never" if there has been no contact with a leader, "0" if the node is in the leader state, or the time since last contact with a leader formatted as a string.

All other values are uint64s, formatted as strings.

func (*Raft) StepDown 

func (r *Raft) StepDown() error
