DESCRIPTION

From Wikipedia

A Proposer advocates a client request, attempting to convince the
Acceptors to agree on it, and acting as a coordinator to move the protocol
forward when conflicts occur.

METHODS

acceptors ( ) : @acceptors

Returns a list of the acceptors.

acceptor_count ( ) : $count

Returns count of the number of acceptors.

is_quorum ( @replies ) : $bool

Takes a list of IDs and sees if they meet a quorum.

highest_proposal_id ( @replies ) : $id

Takes a list of replies and returns the highest proposal id from the list.

new_proposal_id ( ) : $id

Generates a new proposal id. The default implementation is an increasing integer (literally $i++).

prospose ( $value ) : $id

Propose is the main interface between clients and the Paxos cluster/node. Propose takes a single value (the proposal) and returns the ID that is assigned to that proposal. If the proposal fails an exception is thrown.
