4 // The config module maintains views. As a node joins or leaves a
5 // view, the next view will be the same as previous view, except with
6 // the new node added or removed. The first view contains only node
7 // 1. If node 2 joins after the first node (it will download the views
8 // from node 1), it will learn about view 1 with the first node as the
9 // only member. It will then invoke Paxos to create the next view.
10 // It will tell Paxos to ask the nodes in view 1 to agree on the value
11 // {1, 2}. If Paxos returns success, then it moves to view 2 with
12 // {1,2} as the members. When node 3 joins, the config module runs
13 // Paxos with the nodes in view 2 and the proposed value to be
14 // {1,2,3}. And so on. When a node discovers that some node of the
15 // current view is not responding, it kicks off Paxos to propose a new
16 // value (the current view minus the node that isn't responding). The
17 // config module uses Paxos to create a total order of views, and it
18 // is ensured that the majority of the previous view agrees to the
19 // next view. The Paxos log contains all the values (i.e., views)
22 // The RSM module informs config to add nodes. The config module
23 // runs a heartbeater thread that checks in with nodes. If a node
24 // doesn't respond, the config module will invoke Paxos's proposer to
25 // remove the node. Higher layers will learn about this change when a
26 // Paxos acceptor accepts the new proposed value through
29 // To be able to bring other nodes up to date to the latest formed
30 // view, each node will have a complete history of all view numbers
31 // and their values that it knows about. At any time a node can reboot
32 // and when it re-joins, it may be many views behind; by remembering
33 // all views, the other nodes can bring this re-joined node up to
