Gossip-based failure detection and Raft consensus interact in a way that can compound partition hazards: gossip's timeout-driven liveness set determines cluster membership, while Raft's partition behavior means an isolated leader silently accepts uncommittable writes and its inflated term forces re-election upon rejoining — if gossip's failure detection misclassifies a partitioned-but-live leader, it may trigger membership changes that interact with Raft's already-disruptive partition recovery.
