This makes it surprisingly difficult to tell the difference between “everything is fine and I’m up to date” versus “the cluster is on fire”, and led to significant confusion in our tests.

- chipotle_coyote 4y agoWell, when you think about distributed databases, you have a bunch of servers "calling" one another. Some of Jepsen's testing is about disrupting that and seeing what happens. Changing "call me" to "call me maybe." If you will.
