@billlin0904 thanks for the compliment!

Can you explain more? I don’t understand what you want to do?

I want use default implement class Node and notify my node state to server.

public class MyNode : Node
{
private WebSocket _client;

    public void BecomeLeader(CurrentState state)
    {
             _client.Send("I am a leader");
    }

}

But Node class can't to override BecomeLeader. QQ

Partial solution is to intercept handling of AppendEntries and RequestVote requests. In this handler check if Node.State.CurrentState.LeaderId changed and react on it. However this is just a partial solution because if this Node is a leader from the beginning there is no way to detect follower->candidate->leader change.

Ideally Node should expose an even or have a virtual method or accept a delegate which called on state change.

This is kind of a big issue because event if the algo itself works, I see no way to actually use it in real app which relies on leader/follower state.
