This is an implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm, in Elixir.
Parameters that can be directly configured in the Makefile include number of servers, number of clients and time to run the consensus algorithm for. All of the interesting experiments done (involving server crashes, changing election timeouts) are recorded in configuration.ex, and can be run using the PARAMS variable in the Makefile.
In order to start running the algorithm, run, in the root directory of the project:
make
Details and evaluation of any interesting experiments conducted are included in report.pdf. Corresponding outputs for experiments are present in the outputs directory.
Skeleton was provided by Dr. Narenker Dulay, as part of his Imperial College Distributed Algorithms course. Implementation was done jointly by Dhruv Jimulia and Adi Prasad.
