LogCabin

LogCabin is a distributed system that will provide a small amount of highly replicated, consistent storage. It will be used by the RAMCloud Coordinator mainly for fault tolerance. 

More information about LogCabin can be found at: https://ramcloud.stanford.edu/wiki/display/logcabin/LogCabin.

If the LogCabin submodule is updated at any point, and for current users of RAMCloud who have just pulled the latest commits that link RAMCloud to LogCabin, run:

cd logcabin
git submodule update --init
scons
