On the correctness of Egalitarian Paxos
Abstract
This paper identifies a problem in both the TLA+ specification and the implementation of the Egalitarian Paxos protocol. It is related to how replicas switch from one ballot to another when computing the dependencies of a command. The problem may lead replicas to diverge and break the linearizability of the replicated service.
