Golang implentation of Paxos consensus algorithm.

• First Steps

This project is still under development. I have tried to keep the algorithm implementation completely decoupled so you can just import from github.com/RichardKnop/paxos/paxos and extend Acceptor, Proposer and Learner structs.

In order to provide method of communication best suited for you, implement the AcceptorClientInterface interface which is then used by proposers to send request to acceptors.

The communicaton / networking between agents is something which is not relevant for the algorithm. I have written a simple RPC agent system for testing purposes though.

Run multiple test agents in different tabs to test the algorithm:

go run cmd/main.go run --port 1234 --peers 127.0.0.1:2345
go run cmd/main.go run --port 2345 --peers 127.0.0.1:1234
