Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5062:
-------------------------------------------
bq. The thing that is stopping me from hacking together a Paxos prototype is,
where do we store the accepted-but-not-committed proposals?
Thinking that just dumping them to a separate file (like the pre-2.0 manifest)
will be adequate to start with. We can also trade off how fine-grained the
paxos ensemble is (one per row, vs one per vnode) for storage space.

> "Strong" consistency is not enough to prevent race conditions. The classic

> we only want to signal account creation success if nobody else has created
