Raft Consensus with a Minority of Nodes

https://padhye.org/raft-minority/SpotIt.jpg
A modification to the Raft consensus protocol uses finite projective planes to allow progress with fewer than a majority of nodes, ensuring safety by guaranteeing any two valid voting blocs share a common node. The trade-off is that not every subset of nodes forms a valid bloc, and the protocol is not guaranteed to make progress whenever a majority of nodes is active.
