Just adding on to a nice response from abronan, our internal protocol also does some optimizations when it comes to leader election, e.g. Pre Vote protocol (https://github.com/eBay/NuRaft/blob/master/docs/prevote_prot...) Also, we apply many different faults in our Jepsen tests which are run 3 times a day and we never had a problem with leader election. I know this doesn't confirm that there is no bug in it but it's pretty reassuring I would say.

That's true - C++ libraries are typically bug-ridden and require exhaustive efforts to clean up. But the latest bugs found by ClickHouse continuous integration system in the related library were fixed about a year ago: https://github.com/eBay/NuRaft/pull/373 https://github.com/eBay/NuRaft/pull/392
