The initial version of Delos went into production after eight months using a ZooKeeper-backed Loglet implementation, and then four months later it was swapped out for a new custom-built NativeLoglet that gave a 10x improvement in end-to-end latency. In Facebook’s implementation of NativeLoglet, seal simply sets a bit on a quorum of servers.
