Majority Vote Locking

[Mirage Abeysekara <mi...@cse.mrt.ac.lk>]

Hi all,

I am currently working on implementing a vote based locking protocol which
can be used to acquire a lock on shared data items. According to the
design[1] it uses CRDT's to distribute the lock data to other nodes and use
vote give up for prevent deadlocks.

You can test the current implentation using [2] and the code [3]
