Thanks for the clarification, but I'm not sure I follow what I was wrong about. I wasn't saying that it should have 99.9% availability, I was just stating that in most situations, using Paxos to elect a master provides very nearly all the benefits (99.9% was just a vague figure to indicate this) of doing a Paxos commit each time.

Specifically, for every write, it will undergo the Paxos mechanism; the writes aren't serialized through a single master.

  Very interesting. Will more information on this be included in the CIDR paper on Megastore?
