#Objective To implement raft distributed consensus algorithm along with graphical visualization of cluster node states and data replication mechanism across all the cluster nodes.

#How to

1. Start the RabbitMQ service
2. Start RedisDB
3. Build server code using below maven command
   mvn clean install
4. Execute the generated jar file using below command:
   java -jar raft-consensus-{version}.jar -ip {host} -p {port}
   eg. java -jar raft-consensus-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -ip localhost -p 8080
   You can execute as many servers as you wish they will add themselves to the cluster.
5. Use Pyhton file "ClientTest.py" to perform operation as a client
6. You can run the "index.htm" to get the live status of the nodes
