You are leaving out CockroachDB from that group as well. But it's not really a new generation of consensus algorithms. There is still Paxos, 2PC, etc., just more granularity. The trade offs article discusses still apply though, you still trade something in each case for consistency, including latency. It's a shame these "NewSQL" databases attack AP databases, claiming that most projects don't need them. While in reality latency is super important and consistency is something of an afterthought, even for hardcore RDBMS users.
