For people interested in Distributed Systems the architecture[0] page is a treasure trove. The explanation of the gossip(SWIM) and consensus protocol(Raft) used is easy to understand and quite lucid.

It would be wonderful if all (most?) open-source projects have a such beautiful documentation explaining their architecture. Thank you Armon and team for sharing this with us!

Any suggestions on where to get an in depth intro to distributed systems in general?

I enjoyed Berkeley's CS162 because its from the perspective of an operating system. http://bit.ly/11rTdEw
