Hi,
Ceph ( http://ceph.com/ ) relies on a custom implementation of Paxos to provide exabyte scale distributed storage. Like most people recently exposed to Paxos, I struggle to understand it ... but will keep studying until I get it :-) When a friend mentionned Raft ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raft_%28computer_science%29 ), it looked like an easy way out. But it's very recent and I would very much appreciate your opinion. Do you think it is a viable alternative to Paxos ?
Cheers
