Abstract These notes are taken from my reading of the original paper, In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm (Extended Version) by Diego Ongaro and John Ousterhout, a video lecture by Diego on YouTube: Designing for Understandability: The Raft Consensus Algorithm and another by Core Dump: Understand RAFT without breaking your brain.
Abstract Raft is a consensus algorithm for managing a replicated log. It produces a result equivalent to (multi-)Paxos, and it is as efficient as Paxos, but its structure is different from Paxos; this makes Raft more understandable than Paxos and also provides a better foundation for building practical systems.
