TFA doesn't say you don't need Paxos other such. It says that partitions that leave less than a quorum of servers isolated do not reduce availability, and that partitions that leave you w/o a quorum are not really a thing on the cloud. That last part might not be true, but to the extent that it is true then you can have availability and strong consistency.
- skywhopper 2y agoIt’s not true, but if it were true then it’s true?
- cryptonector 2y agoNo, more like: when the cloud is all down, yeah, you don't have availability, but so what, that's like all servers being down -- that's always a potential problem, but it's less likely on a cloud.
