Problem Analysis: Raft Consensus Algorithm Implementation in Rust

1. Problem Statement and Context

1.1 Core Problem

The objective is to implement the Raft consensus algorithm in Rust - a distributed consensus protocol that enables a cluster of computing nodes to agree on a series of state transitions and maintain a replicated state machine across multiple servers, even in the presence of failures.

1.2 Problem Domain

Raft is a consensus algorithm designed as an understandable alternative to Paxos. It provides fault-tolerant distributed consensus, ensuring that a cluster of servers can:

  • Maintain consistent replicated logs across all nodes
