chain-self-management-sketch.org is an introduction to the self-management algorithm proposed for Machi. This algorithm is (hoped to be) sufficient for managing the Chain Replication state of a Machi cluster.

high-level-machi.pdf

high-level-machi.pdf is an overview of the high level design for Machi. Its abstract:

Our goal is a robust & reliable, distributed, highly available large file store based upon write-once registers, append-only files, Chain Replication, and client-server style architecture. All members of the cluster store all of the files. Distributed load balancing/sharding of files is outside of the scope of this system. However, it is a high priority that this system be able to integrate easily into systems that do provide distributed load balancing, e.g., Riak Core. Although strong consistency is a major feature of Chain Replication, this document will focus mainly on eventual consistency features --- strong consistency design will be discussed in a separate document.
