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