Consider a quorum consensus protocol in which an item is stored as n replicas, and the size of read and write quorums are p and q respectively.
a. What is the maximum number of replica sites that can fail and still have the protocol work correctly?
b. What is the minimum value that p and q can have such that p = q?
c. Select p and q so that the maximum number of replica sites can fail and still have the protocol work correctly. For this selection, how many sites can fail?
a. The minimum of n ? p and n ? q.
b. The smallest integer greater than n/2
c. p and q are both selected to be the smallest integer greater than n/2. The number of sites that can fail is then the largest integer less than n/2. For example, if n = 7, p and q are both equal to 4, and 3 sites can fail.
