Currently, part of my work in the IoTDB community also revolves around exploring consensus algorithms, where we examine the trade-offs between availability, consistency, and performance. Undoubtedly, Raft and Ratis have become our best choices in the realm of strong consistency. I have always found the word "Quorum" to be very elegant, and there is often debate in the database community about whether "One Size Fits All." This is why I named my GitHub account "OneSizeFitsQuorum," aiming to build a bridge between distributed systems and databases. Now, it seems that this dream is becoming a reality. I am truly honored to receive recognition from the Ratis community today. Moving forward, I will continue contributing to the Ratis community and work towards strengthening the collaboration between the IoTDB and Ratis communities to achieve a better, mutually beneficial outcome." Now, as I take the next step into the role of PMC member, I am truly honored by the recognition from the Ratis community and excited about the opportunity to contribute further in this new capacity. Looking ahead, my goal is not only to support the community's growth but also to establish Ratis as the de facto standard for Raft implementations in Java. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me, and I eagerly look forward to driving innovation and fostering growth within the Ratis community.
