3. Explain the RAFT and the PAXOS algorithms. How do they ensure that multiple nodes in a DS
can agree on a common state.

4. Explain the challenges of managing data across multiple nodes in a Distributed System. How can
techniques like partitioning, replication and caching be used to improve performance and
