Is there a paper or some other architecture document for dsync?

It's really hard to solve this problem without a consensus algorithm in a way that doesn't sacrifice something (usually correctness in edge cases/network partitions). Data availability is easy(ish), but keeping the metadata consistent requires some sort of consensus, either using Raft/Paxos/..., using strictly commutative operations, or similar. I'm curious how RustFS solves this, and I couldn't find any documentation.

EiB scale doesn't mean much - some workloads don't require strict metadata consistency guarantees, but others do.
