#2This was interesting reading to fill in the "why": https://github.com/vmware/haret/blob/master/docs/why.md
Short story; looks a bit like etcd or consul (in terms of data), using Viewstamped Replication.

This is also intended to be a coordination system that is written in a language that makes it easier to embed (no GC, heavy runtime). Good to see https://github.com/andrewjstone 's work getting ready for wider adoption.

#4I can't tell - but, can the distributed-consensus portion of this be published as a library on crates.io? I...assume so, looking at the code structure.

#5Nice to see View Stamped Replication getting some love, to balance out all the Raft mania. Having such an essential core service implemented in a low-dependency non-GC runtime is good too.

Anyone needing that can also extract tikv's raft implementation. It's actually quite easy.

Yes, Viewstamped Replication is underappreciated! It is actually older than Paxos, although the original paper is pretty incomprehensible too.
The more recent "Viewstamped Replication Revisited" paper is probably my favorite introduction to consensus protocols and their use in a real system: http://pmg.csail.mit.edu/papers/vr-revisited.pdf

Andrew Stone is also ex-Basho ;)
