My understanding is the cost of all these weaker quorums is reduced fault tolerance. Is that correct?

- DblPlusUngood 8y agoYes. In theory, maybe it's useful to have more flexibility to trade-off durability for performance (smaller quorum size hopefully reduces deciding latency [unless your small quorum contains the straggler!]) for specific kinds of data in the same replica group. In practice though, it seems easier just to run separate instances of Paxos.
