Raft Algorithm Implementation in C++

This repository contains an implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm in C++. The Raft algorithm is a consensus algorithm designed as an alternative to the Paxos family of algorithms. It is simpler to understand and implement, making it a popular choice for building fault-tolerant distributed systems.

Features

• Implementation of the Raft consensus algorithm in C++
• Simulates a cluster of nodes communicating and electing a leader
• Demonstrates concepts such as leader election, log replication, and consistency maintenance
• Simple and easy-to-understand code structure

Usage

To use the Raft algorithm implementation:

1. Clone the repository: ``` git clone https://github.com/shri420Hk/RaftAlgorithmInCPP.git ```

2. Navigate to the repository directory: ``` cd RaftAlgorithmInCPP ```

3. Compile the code using a C++ compiler: ``` g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o raft ```

4. Run the compiled executable: ``` ./raft ```
