Openraft

Advanced Raft in 🦀 Rust using Tokio. Please ⭐ on github!

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.

• 🚀 Get started:

  • Openraft guide is the best place to get started,
  • Openraft docs for more in-depth details,
  • Openraft FAQ explains some common questions.

• 💡 Example Applications:

  • Examples with Openraft 0.9 require Openraft 0.9 on crate.io/openraft
  • Examples with Openraft 0.10 require Openraft 0.10, which is not yet published on crate.io;

• 🙌 Questions?

  • Why not take a peek at our FAQ? You might find just what you need.
  • Wanna chat? Come hang out with us on Discord!
  • Or start a new discussion over on GitHub.
  • Or join our Feishu group.
  • And hey, if you're on WeChat, add us: drmingdrmer. Let's get the conversation started!

Whatever your style, we're here to support you. 🚀 Let's make something awesome together!

• Openraft is derived from async-raft with several bugs fixed: Fixed bugs.

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
• 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. 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.

Versions

• Branch main has been under active development. The main branch is for the release-0.10.

• Branch release-0.9: Latest: ( v0.9.0 | Change log ); Upgrade guide: ⬆️ 0.8 to 0.9; release-0.9 Won't accept new features but only bug fixes.

• Branch release-0.8: Latest: ( v0.8.8 | Change log ); Upgrade guide: ⬆️ 0.7 to 0.8, ⬆️ 0.8.3 to 0.8.4; release-0.8 Won't accept new features but only bug fixes.

• Branch release-0.7: Latest: ( v0.7.6 | Change log ); Upgrade guide: ⬆️ 0.6 to 0.7; release-0.7 Won't accept new features but only bug fixes.

• Branch release-0.6: Latest: ( v0.6.8 | Change log ); release-0.6 won't accept new features but only bug fixes.

Roadmap

• 2022-10-31 Extended joint membership
• 2023-02-14 Minimize confliction rate when electing; See: Openraft Vote design; Or use standard raft mode with feature flag single-term-leader.
• 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;
• Support flexible quorum, e.g.: Hierarchical Quorums
• 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.
• Built-In Tracing Instrumentation: The codebase integrates tracing for logging and distributed tracing, with the option to set verbosity levels at compile time.

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
• ✅ 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().

Who use it

• Databend - The Next-Gen Cloud [Data+AI] Analytics
• CnosDB - A cloud-native open source distributed time series database.
• yuyang0/rrqlite - A rust implementation of rqlite.
