Cabinet: Dynamically Weighted Consensus Made Fast
Summary: Introduces Cabinet, a dynamically-weighted consensus protocol that assigns and adjusts node weights by responsiveness and failure thresholds to avoid majority-wait bottlenecks. Demonstrates substantial throughput/latency gains over Raft in large, heterogeneous clusters (YCSB/TPC-C). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
