About this project

Chain-replicated KVS
Can handle up to 256 simultaneous clients with up to 1024 concurrent requests each
Up to 16 chain-replicated servers
PUTs are sent to the head server, GETs are retrieved from the tail server
Failure detection using FCheck, data is synchronized to servers once the chain has reorganized itself
Server joining and ordering is maintained by the coord node
Traces can be viewed by uploading the shiviz file here

Clone the repo & navigate to the project folder
Start the tracing server (must be done first)
```
  go run cmd/tracing-server/main.go
```
Start the Coord (must be done second)
```
  go run cmd/coord/main.go
```
Start the servers. Additional or fewer servers can be started by changing the config files. The servers do not have to be local, they can be on any machine, provided that the config files are modified with the correct IPs for each server.

By default, 5 servers are configured.
```
  go run cmd/server/main.go
  go run cmd/server/main2.go
  go run cmd/server/main3.go
  go run cmd/server/main4.go
  go run cmd/server/main5.go
```
Finally, start the client. Multiple client instances can be started provided multiple config files are created. The source code of the client can be altered to change the number and type of requests
```
  go run cmd/client/main.go
```
