README.md

Prototype directory

The contents of the prototype directory is the result of consolidating several small & independent repos. Originally, each small was a separate prototype/quick hack for experimentation purposes. The code is preserved here for use as:

  • Examples of what not to do ... the code is a bit ugly, after all. ^_^
  • Some examples of what to do when prototyping in Erlang. For example, "Let it crash" style coding is so nice to hack on quickly.
  • Some code might actually be reusable, as-is or after some refactoring.

The prototype code here is not meant for long-term use or maintenance. We are unlikely to accept changes/pull requests for adding large new features or to build full Erlang/OTP applications using this code only.

However, pull requests for small changes, such as support for newer Erlang versions (e.g., Erlang 17), will be gladly accepted. We will also accept fixes for bugs in the test code.

The corfurl prototype

The corfurl code is a mostly-complete complete implementation of the CORFU server & client specification. More details on the papers about CORFU are mentioned in the corfurl/docs/corfurl.md file.

This code contains a QuickCheck + PULSE test. If you wish to use it, please note the usage instructions and restrictions mentioned in the README.md file.

The demo-day-hack prototype

TODO

The tango prototype

A quick & dirty prototype of Tango on top of the prototype/corfurl CORFU implementation. The implementation is powerful enough (barely) to run concurrently on multiple Erlang nodes. See its README.md file for limitations, TODO items, etc.

The chain-manager prototype

This is a very early experiment to try to create a distributed "rough consensus" algorithm that is sufficient & safe for managing the order of a Chain Replication chain, its members, and its chain order.

  • Code status: active!

Unlike the other code projects in this repository's prototype directory, the chain management code is still under active development. It is quite likely (as of early March 2015) that this code will be robust enough to move to the "real" Machi code base soon.
