raft-partition-creates-dual-hazard

Status: IN

Network partitions create a compound safety hazard in Raft: the isolated leader silently accepts writes that can never commit, and when it rejoins its inflated term forces a disruptive re-election of the healthy partition's leader.

Justifications

Two partition-related behaviors combine into a scenario where partitions cause both silent data loss AND unnecessary leader disruption on heal
