NAME
Algorithm::Paxos - An implementation of the Paxos protocol
VERSION
version 0.001
SYNOPSIS
package BasicPaxos;
use Moose;
with qw(
Algorithm::Paxos::Role::Proposer
Algorithm::Paxos::Role::Acceptor
Algorithm::Paxos::Role::Learner
);
package main;
my @synod = map { BasicPaxos->new() } ( 0 .. 2 );
$_->_set_acceptors( \@synod ) for @synod;
$_->_set_learners( \@synod ) for @synod;DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This is Alpha level code. The algorithm works, I'm fairly certain it works to spec it does not have anything near fully test coverage and it hasn't been used in anything resembling a production environment yet. I'm releasing it because I think it'll be useful and I don't want it lost on github.
From Wikipedia
Paxos is a family of protocols for solving consensus in a network of
unreliable processors. Consensus is the process of agreeing on one result
among a group of participants. This problem becomes difficult when the
participants or their communication medium may experience failures.This package implements a basic version of the Basic Paxos protocol and provides an API (and hooks) for extending into a more complicated solution as needed.
