Paxos Made Complex

“The Paxos algorithm, when presented in plain English, is very simple.” said the author Lamport, however, I find out it has caused more confusion and questions for me after I finished the article. Most of the doubts come from 3 areas:

  1. How does it work?
  2. How do you implement it?
  3. What’re the advantages of this algorithm?

I hope as my reading activities continue those doubts can be cleared eventually!

Application

分布式存储系统&&分布式应用系统

paxos算法是一个比较完备的解决分布式一致性的算法

1是能够保证集群操作的顺序化,2在主机宕机重选之后集群操作的不丢失和可恢复
