Tim McGilchrist @lambda_foo lambdafoo.com Raft Implementing Distributed Consensus with Erlang
Outline ❖ Goals! ❖ The consensus problem! ❖ Outline RAFT
algorithm! ❖ Implementing in Erlang
Goals What I want you to get out of this
talk?! • Understand core ideas in RAFT! • Erlang / OTP as a tool for building systems! • Build your own implementation
Consensus In a distributed system, agreement among multiple processes on
a single data value, despite failures. ! ! Once they reach a decision on a value, that decision is final.
Potential Use Case ❖ Configuration Management! ❖ Distributed Transactions! ❖
Distributed Lock Manager! ❖ DNS and Resource Discovery
RAFT ❖ Design for understandability! ❖ Strong leader! ❖ Practical
to implement Goals Raft is a consensus algorithm that is designed to be easy to understand.
Messages ❖ RAFT only needs 2 messages.! ❖ RequestVote includes
term! ❖ AppendEntries includes term and log entries! ❖ Term acts as a logical clock
States 3 states a node can be in. Follower Candidate!
Leader
Leader Leader • Only a single leader within a cluster!
• Receives commands from client! • Commits commands to the log
Follower Follower • Appends commands to log! • Votes for
candidates! • Otherwise passive
Candidate Candidate! • Initiates Election! • Coordinates Votes
Leader Election Follower Candidate! Leader starts up timeout new election
gets majority of votes step down step down timeout restart election
Log Replication add 1 F2 F1 Leader AppendEntries add 1,
index 0 add 1, index 0
Log Replication add 1 add 1 add 1 F2 F1
Leader Ok OK
Log Replication add 1 add 1 add 1 F2 F1
Leader Executes command
Log Replication add 1 add 4 add 1 add 1
F2 F1 Leader AppendEntries add 4, index 1 add 4, index 1 Executes command Executes command
RAFT Summary ❖ 2 types of messages, RequestVote and AppendEntries!
❖ 3 states, Leader, Follower and Candidate! ❖ Save Entries to persistent log
Erlang ❖ Functional language! ❖ Fundamentally a concurrent language! ❖
Actor model as basic abstraction! ❖ No shared state between actors! ❖ OTP behaviours like supervisors and gen_fsm! ❖ Location independent message sending
Implementation Overview ❖ github.com/tmcgilchrist/sloop ! ❖ github.com/andrewjstone/ rafter! ❖ Each
node has 2 supervised behaviours! ❖ gen_fsm implementing the consensus protocol! ❖ gen_server wraps the log store! ❖ passes erlang terms as messages
sloop_fsm ❖ state machine implements leader election and log replication!
❖ each state is a function with multiple clauses! !
Supervisors sloop_sup sloop_fsm sloop_store sloop_state sender
Implementations ! ❖ raftconsensus.github.io! ❖ github.com/tmcgilchrist/sloop ! ❖ github.com/andrewjstone/rafter !
❖ github.com/goraft/raft
Summary ❖ Defined Distributed Consensus! ❖ Looked at core ideas
of RAFT! ❖ Erlang suits distributed systems! ❖ Map Erlang to RAFT
Thanks!
