CachierThanThou

• Implements a Distributed Cache, multiple servers can join a "cluster" and clients can Set or Get from them by invoking the server nodes.
• Only the leader node is allowed to SET on member nodes.
• GET can be done on any node.

Usage

• make run to start the leader server
• make runfollower to start follower nodes
• The main func runs a SET and GET from a client, this is just to see how it works
• To set listener address (make runfollower implicitly sets this to :4000 and make run sets it to :3000) use the "listenaddr" flag
• For followers, to set leader address (make runfollower implicitly sets this to :3000) use the "leaderaddr" flag

TODO

• Currently, Raft consensus is only being implemented using mock servers (that can't dial each other)
• To run this: go run client/runtest/main.go
• Need to apply this to the current server/client set up to make it real world
• Issue open, feel free to contribute
