Review: Rethink the Linearizability Constraints of Raft for Distributed Systems

In Rethink the Linearizability Constraints of Raft for Distributed Systems (behind the IEEE paywall, dammit), some academic researchers describe Raft optimizations that make reads and writes quicker, while preserving linearizability. Raft and linearizability are my specialities , and I&rsquo;m pretty sure I see mistakes in this paper. The ideas are worth considering anyway. I recommend it, if you…
