PaxosStore: High-availability Storage Made Practical in WeChat

Summary: PaxosStore provides high-availability for a multi-model storage stack via a Paxos-based middleware deployed in WeChat. It introduces PaxosLog and a layered protocol stack to translate programming-level reads/writes into storage-level consensus, with practical Paxos optimizations for fault-tolerance and scale.
