"master" vs. "yes" in the HA column?

What's the difference between "master" (red) and "yes" (green) in the HA column? I'm going to guess that "master" means "if the master server is disconnected from the net, then the system is unusable". Is that correct? Perhaps its still possible to work with files in the local cache, so that any local changes get pushed back to the master if/when it comes back? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 01:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RAFT algorithm?

The Raft (algorithm) allows a new master to be elected if the current master fails, disappears, i.e. doesn't respond to a heartbeat. Do any of these systems use raft? Or even something comparable to it? Perhaps more generally, how is HA achieved? How is data synced? How does one know what the latest version of the data is? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 01:21, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
