We are working on several ways to prove to ourselves and the community that what we have is correct. The most important is obviously testing. We have tests that demonstrate the problems we found, and Ark passes those tests. Publishing this explanation and soliciting feedback is another.
We have run Jepsen and have not been able to get it to show data loss in TokuMX. The problems it found in MongoDB were already fixed in other ways in earlier versions of TokuMX, but we're trying to get Jepsen to demonstrate the other problems we've found.
Model checking may be another way we can prove correctness, but since Ark is so similar to Raft, I think the Raft model in TLA+[1] is probably sufficient. Anyway, we'd also need a proof that the model is equivalent to the implementation, and I don't know of a way to do that, so I think functional tests are more important.
In any case, we'll look in to using a model checker, and any help would be greatly appreciated. If you're interested, feel free to email me.
