It is darkly amusing to me that Paxos is still cited by people as a "good algorithm" to choose and understandable - including the cutesy island metaphor from the paper to appear approachable - and the Raft paper opens with a paragraph more or less going "ok we had a bunch of people try to understand Paxos and none of them could figure it out". Anytime I see someone recommend Paxos I silently am judging if they've actually ever read the paper or just parroting advice from when it was the only game in town. |
