I spent the weekend implementing leaderless multi-Paxos by hand, and now I'm moving into Paxos Made Moderately Complex. I kind of wish I'd started with PMMC, but I think I may have needed to have the pain of negotiating slot allocation among peers to appreciate the PMMC leader decisions. #DistributedSystems #Paxos #Homework #PMMC
@evan John Ousterhout came and gave a talk last week and he explained that the origin story of Raft was that he "just couldn't figure out Paxos"
