Jepsen is a tool written by Kyle Kingsbury that is designed to test the partition tolerance of distributed systems. It creates network partitions while fuzzing the system with random operations. The results are analyzed to see if the system violates any of the consistency properties it claims to have.

As part of our Consul testing, we ran it against Jepsen to determine if
any consistency issues could be uncovered. In our testing, Consul gracefully
recovered from partitions without introducing any consistency issues.

At the moment, testing with Jepsen is rather complex as it requires
setting up multiple virtual machines, SSH keys, DNS configuration,
and a working Clojure environment. We hope to contribute our Consul
testing code upstream and to provide a Vagrant environment for Jepsen
