1 Abstract
The article introduces the new generation of consensus algorithms: masterless consensus algorithm. The core part consists of less than 30 lines of C++ code. Thus it is the simplest consensus algorithm that contains several outstanding features allowing to easily developing complex fault-tolerant distributed services.
2 Introduction
There are only two hard problems in distributed systems:
2. Exactly-once delivery.
1. Guaranteed order of messages.
2. Exactly-once delivery.Mathias Verraes.
Distributed programming is hard. The main reason that you should not rely on the common assumptions about timings, possible failures, devices reliability and operation sequences.
