 # Ratis
 Ratis is a java library that implements the RAFT protocol[1]. The Raft paper can be accessed at [this link] (https://raft.github.io/raft.pdf). The paper introduces Raft and states its motivations in following words:
   > Raft is a consensus algorithm for managing a replicated log. It produces a result equivalent to (multi-)Paxos, and it is as efficient as Paxos, but its structure is different from Paxos; this makes Raft more understandable than Paxos and also provides a better foundation for building practical systems.
