Raft safety vs Paxos roles
Which statement correctly contrasts Raft with Multi-Paxos?
Options
- 1Paxos is built around a single stable leader and cannot operate without one, while Raft tolerates leaderless operation and frequent leader changes
- 2Raft is easier to reason about because it tolerates Byzantine faults and malicious nodes, which Paxos deliberately excludes from its failure model
- 3Raft enforces a strong leader with log matching and committed entries flowing leader to followers, making it easier to reason about than Paxos
- 4Multi-Paxos cannot tolerate leader failure at all, so Raft is preferred because it keeps making progress after the leader crashes
