Consensus is a fundamental problem in fault-tolerant distributed
systems. Consensus typically arises in the context of replicated state
machines. It can lead into inconsistencies originating from the
maintenance of two separate replicated data sets, either because of
servers in a network design, or a failure condition based on servers not
communicating and synchronizing their data to each other..
I will be talking about the existing solutions to solve the Consensus
problem in computing and the advantage of RAFT over the other solutions.
