I have not read the full description of this project yet, but it does mention the use or raft for consensus, so in your example, I would expect Charlie to not be able to add any records while being disconnected, because, if my understanding is correct: - Charlie would either be the leader, but then without getting confirmation of writes from enough followers, he would not be able to do any writes himself, or - Charlie would be a follower, and while disconnected would obviously get no writes from the leader.
