Knowing the Raft[0][1] protocol, I felt this post was disingenuous going on for its entire length, and only mentioning Raft basically as a footnote, w/ no other references.

I think Raft deserves a bit more prominence and credit here, Antirez.

In the very first part of the post: "The algorithm is mostly borrowed from Raft, however because of the premises it uses only a subset of Raft that is trivial to implement."

Maybe you only scanned the article.
