Bringing TiKV to Rust Devroom at FOSDEM 2018
At the crack of dawn on February 1, I landed in Brussels, Belgium, for the first time in my life. The goal of my trip wasn't to taste the local cuisine, tour world-famous museums, or grab a pint of the local brew. It was to deliver a talk three days later at FOSDEM 2018 Rust Devroom about our experience at PingCAP using Rust to build TiKV, a distributed transactional Key-Value storage engine.
A TiKV Source Code Walkthrough – Raft Optimization
Paxos or Raft is frequently used to ensure data consistency in the distributed computing area. But Paxos is known for its complexity and is rather difficult to understand while Raft is very simple. Therefore, a lot of emerging databases tend to use Raft as the consensus algorithm at its bottom layer. TiKV is no exception.
Why did we choose Rust over Golang or C/C++ to develop TiKV?
Every developer has his/her favorite programming language. For the TiKV team members, it's Rust.

The Design and Implementation of Multi-raft
The goal of TiKV is to support 100 TB+ of data and it is impossible for one Raft group to make it, we need to use multiple Raft groups, which is called Multi-raft.
