A Chinese-language knowledge base of notes on distributed systems theory — covering CAP, consensus algorithms (Raft, Paxos, ZAB), consistency models, clocks, and Byzantine faults. It's a personal study archive from one engineer, not a textbook, and the primary audience is Chinese-speaking developers who want a structured reference on distributed fundamentals.
The coverage of consensus algorithms is genuinely thorough — separate files for Raft log replication, safety, elections, and membership change is more granular than most English-language summaries. It includes translated primary sources (the original Raft paper, 'Distributed Systems for Fun and Profit') alongside original notes, which is useful for readers who haven't read them. The Patterns of Distributed Systems section maps directly to Martin Fowler's catalog, giving concrete named patterns with dedicated files. Active maintenance through mid-2026 suggests the author is still using and updating it.
Almost entirely in Chinese with no English translation, so the audience is effectively one language community despite the repo showing up in global searches. Large sections like distributed storage (10~分布式存储) and distributed computing (20~分布式计算) are README.link stubs that point elsewhere — those chapters don't actually exist here. It's one person's notes, not a reviewed or collaborated-on resource, so errors and gaps won't get caught by others. No code examples anywhere — it's purely prose, which limits usefulness for people who learn by doing.
