了解Paxos和其他分布式共识算法

Understanding Paxos and other distributed consensus algorithms

Victor Yodaiken

摘要:

Paxos是一种被广泛使用的、众所周知的难以理解的方法,用于解决一类分布式共识问题。本文提供了Paxos的快速解释,这是一种新颖的正确性证明,旨在深入了解为什么该算法像作者所说的那样简单,解释为什么它能工作,为什么它不能工作,并简要讨论了替代方案。

英文摘要:

Paxos is a widely used and notoriously hard to understand method for solving one type of distributed consensus problem. This note provides a quick explanation of Paxos, a novel proof of correctness that is intended to provide insight into why the algorithm is as simple as the author has claimed, an explanation of why it does and why it doesn't work, and has a brief discussion of alternatives.
