Abstract

In distributed storage systems, the Raft (Replicated And Fault Tolerant) algorithm's strong leadership characteristics introduce substantial log distribution overhead as the number of nodes increases, impacting performance and scalability. This paper proposed two innovative mechanisms to overcome these challenges. First algorithm is a dynamic priority based log distribution mechanism. It assigned log entries based on the synchronization levels between leader and follower nodes, thereby expediting log submission. Second algorithm is a window pipeline based log distribution delegation mechanism. Its leader node assigned more synchronized followers to disseminate logs to less synchronized ones, diminishing the time required to achieve system-wide log consistency. Our experimental results demonstrate substantial enhancements in throughput and log synchronization time within multi-node clusters. This improvement shows the efficacy of these mechanisms in bolstering system performance.
