This project intends to improve raft as the next-generation consensus protocol for distributed data storage systems (SQL, NoSQL, KV, Streaming, Graph ... or maybe something more exotic).
Currently, openraft is the consensus engine of meta-service cluster in [databend](https://github.com/datafuselabs/databend).

- Openraft is derived from [async-raft](https://docs.rs/crate/async-raft/latest) with several bugs fixed: [Fixed bugs](https://github.com/datafuselabs/openraft/blob/main/derived-from-async-raft.md).
# Status
- The features are almost complete for building an application.
- Performance: Supports 70,000 writes/sec for single writer, and 1,000,000 writes/sec for 256 writers. See: [Performance](#performance)
- Unit test coverage stands at 92%.
- The chaos test has not yet been completed, and further testing is needed to ensure the application's robustness and reliability.
## API status
- **Openraft API is not stable yet**. Before `1.0.0`, an upgrade may contain incompatible changes.
Check our [change-log](https://github.com/datafuselabs/openraft/blob/main/change-log.md). A commit message starts with a keyword to indicate the modification type of the commit:
- `DataChange:` on-disk data types changes, which may require manual upgrade.
- `Change:` if it introduces incompatible changes.
- `Feature:` if it introduces compatible non-breaking new features.
- `Fix:` if it just fixes a bug.

# Roadmap
- [x] **2022-10-31** [Extended joint membership](https://docs.rs/openraft/latest/openraft/docs/data/extended_membership/index.html)
- [x] **2023-02-14** Minimize confliction rate when electing;
See: [Openraft Vote design](https://docs.rs/openraft/latest/openraft/docs/data/vote/index.html);
Or use standard raft mode with [feature flag `single-term-leader`](https://docs.rs/openraft/latest/openraft/docs/feature_flags/index.html).
- [x] **2023-04-26** Goal performance is 1,000,000 put/sec.
- [ ] Reduce the complexity of vote and pre-vote: [get rid of pre-vote RPC](https://github.com/datafuselabs/openraft/discussions/15);
- [ ] Support flexible quorum, e.g.: [Hierarchical Quorums](https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.5.9/zookeeperHierarchicalQuorums.html)
- [ ] Consider introducing read-quorum and write-quorum,
improve efficiency with a cluster with an even number of nodes.
# Performance
The benchmark is focused on the Openraft framework itself and is run on a
minimized store and network. This is **NOT a real world** application benchmark!!!
| clients | put/s | ns/op |
| --: | --: | --: |
| 256 | **1,014,000** | 985 |
| 64 | **730,000** | 1,369 |
| 1 | 70,000 | **14,273** |

# Features
- **Async and Event-Driven**: Operates based on Raft events without reliance on periodic ticks, optimizing message batching for high throughput.
- **Extensible Storage and Networking**: Customizable via `RaftLogStorage`, `RaftStateMachine` and `RaftNetwork` traits, allowing flexibility in choosing storage and network solutions.
- **Unified Raft API**: Offers a single `Raft` type for creating and interacting with Raft tasks, with a straightforward API.
- **Cluster Formation**: Provides strategies for initial cluster setup as detailed in the [cluster formation guide](https://docs.rs/openraft/latest/openraft/docs/cluster_control/cluster_formation/index.html).
- **Built-In Tracing Instrumentation**: The codebase integrates [tracing](https://docs.rs/tracing/) for logging and distributed tracing, with the option to [set verbosity levels at compile time](https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/level_filters/index.html).
## Functionality:
- ✅ **Leader election**: by policy or manually([`trigger_elect()`][]).
- ✅ **Non-voter(learner) Role**: refer to [`add_learner()`][].
- ✅ **Log Compaction**(snapshot of state machine): by policy or manually([`trigger_snapshot()`]).
- ✅ **Snapshot replication**.
- ✅ **Dynamic Membership**: using joint membership config change. Refer to [dynamic membership](https://docs.rs/openraft/latest/openraft/docs/cluster_control/dynamic_membership/index.html)
- ✅ **Linearizable read**: [`ensure_linearizable()`][].
- ⛔️ **Wont support**: Single-step config change.
- ✅ Toggle heartbeat / election: [`enable_heartbeat`][] / [`enable_elect`][].
- ✅ Trigger snapshot / election manually: [`trigger_snapshot()`][] / [`trigger_elect()`][].
- ✅ Purge log by policy or manually: [`purge_log()`][].
