-----------------------------------
Hi,
I'm quite interested in raft logs and IOTDB cluster. I'd like to try my best in
contributing to it.
Thanks,

> Key: IOTDB-562
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IOTDB-562
> Project: Apache IoTDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core/Cluster
> Reporter: Tian Jiang
> Assignee: Kaifeng Xue
> Priority: Major

> IoTDB is a highly efficient time series database, which supports high-speed
> query process, including aggregation query.
> Currently, IoTDB has supported shared-nothing cluster which using raft
> mechanism and raft logs to communicate among all nodes. So raft logs are very
> important in communication, consistency keeping, and fail-over.
> However, the current logs are just stored in memory which means raft logs
> will lost when the nodes down and then recover. Secondly, the raft logs may
> overlap with current WAL which means we may do some unnecessary log writing
> works.
> So there are two improvements about raft logs need to be done:
> 1. Store the raft logs in a durable material such as a disk. You need to
> design a serializable form of logs and then put them to disk.
> 2. Find a way of using raft logs in the IoTDB recovery process. That's means
> we just write raft logs rather than both raft logs and WAL. This will avoid
> some unnecessary log writing works and improve insertion performance.
> This proposal is mainly for improving raft logs in clustered IOTDB. Besides,
> if we can let the summary info be more useful, it could be better.
> Notice that the premise is that the raft logs writing process should not be
> slow down too much. That means the serializable form should be high
> efficiency enough.
> You should know:
> • IoTDB cluster structure
> • IoTDB WAL
> • IoTDB insertion process
> • Raft
> • Java
