Fundamentally, I am assuming that the protocol you use must look  
similar to Paxos. All the distributed consensus protocols I have  
studied look pretty similar. Where are the leader election/atomic  
broadcast parts of the protocol implemented? Judging by file names I  
am assuming that QuorumPeer is the "root" of the protocol?
