PaxosLease

PaxosLease is a Paxos-based, diskless algorithm for negotiating leases in a distributed system. It is used for master leases in Keyspace.

This paper describes PaxosLease, a distributed algorithm for lease negotiation. PaxosLease is based on Paxos, but does not require disk writes and does not make clock synchrony and skew assumptions. PaxosLease is used for master lease negotation in the open-source Keyspace replicated key-value store.
