Intro
LogCabin is a distributed system that provides a small amount of highly replicated, consistent storage. It is a reliable place for other distributed systems to store their core metadata and is helpful in solving cluster management issues. LogCabin is still in early stages of development and is not yet recommended for actual use.
We've written a paper about the Raft consensus algorithm which LogCabin uses internally. The draft under submission is here : read it here (PDF).
