Raft w/ Control Plane
This is a small project that will implement Raft as found in the canonical white paper. It will also test some ideas for Control Theory where we will develop a control plane to manage the Raft host configuration (e.g. add another host to the Raft consensus group).
The project is written in Java, using Gradle as the build toolchain. The inter-service calls will be facilitated with gRPC.
Running
At the time of writing, I am using gradle v7.4.1. The gradle config files (e.g. gradlew)
have been committed to the repo, for better or for worse, so in theory you can just run the
./gradlew installDist task to get everything built. From there, simple use
./gradlew run to run the project.
This assumes a lot and given my limited gradle knowledge might not be accurate. Beware those who set up this repo after me.
