# Features
This raft implementation is a full feature implementation of Raft protocol. Features includes:
- Leader election
- Log replication
- Log compaction
- Membership changes
- Leadership transfer extension
- Lease-based linearizable read-only queries served by both the leader and followers
This raft implementation also includes a few optional enhancements:
- Optimistic pipelining to reduce log replication latency
- Flow control for log replication
- Batching Raft messages to reduce synchronized network I/O calls
- Batching log entries to reduce disk synchronized I/O
- Writing to leader's disk in parallel
- Internal proposal redirection from followers to leader
- Automatic stepping down when the leader loses quorum
