Claim 16:
17. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the at least one of the one or more processors to perform actions including:
transmitting a survey request to one or more sequencer processes associated with implementing a consensus log;
generating, based at least in part on survey results received from the one or more sequencer processes, a message that includes initial log assignments for a second epoch that follows a first epoch of the consensus log, wherein the initial log assignments overwrite one or more previously decided slots associated with the first epoch;
transmitting the message to the one or more sequencer processes;
determining that the second epoch is activated; and
at least partly in response to determining that the second epoch is activated, using the initial log assignments.
