Motivation

Intended for learning purposes only. I wanted to gain experience with golang while learning about distributed data systems.

Some of the most helpful links:

• Martin Kleppmann's class
• MIT 6.824
• Travis Jeffrey's book

Service discovery is enabled by HashiCorp Serf while consensus across nodes is provided by HashiCorp Raft.

Build a Log

• Record: The literal stored data.
• Store: File that stores records.
• Index: File that holds indexes.
• Segment: Abstraction tying together Indexes and Stores.
• Log: Abstraction tying together multiple Segments.
