I’m troubleshooting failures arising from long-lived network partitions, and occasionally see ViewChangeProof mesages in the log.
My first pass through the ElectionsService source code hasn’t helped me understand. I simply don’t know enough about the detailed workings of the election protocol.
Can someone explain what the ViewChangeProof messages mean? Failing that, is there a whitepaper or academic reference that describes the election algorithm?
Thanks,
Sam
