The "ZooKeeper/PaxosRun" page has been changed by FlavioJunqueira.
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ZooKeeper/PaxosRun?action=diff&rev1=5&rev2=6

--------------------------------------------------

  
  In this page, we show an example of a Paxos run that violates the primary 
order of messages. The basic idea is that if we have three proposers over time 
and three acceptors, we can have a situation in which a proposer proposes A and 
B, but only B is committed. For ZooKeeper, operations are state changes, and 
such cases can lead to an inconsistent state. In this particular example, the 
state change B depends upon A, but A was not committed.
  
- Note that we concentrate on instances 27, 28, and 29, for the sake of 
illustration. We have omitted common optimizations like sending one 1a message 
for all instances or summarizing 1b messages.

illustration. We have omitted common optimizations like sending one 1a message 
for all instances or summarizing 1b messages. We also only show the values 
accepted along with their ballots as part of the state of an acceptor.   
  
  '''Notation''': For the following figures, we use '''''bold italics''''' to 
represent the state of an acceptor, and regular font to represent messages.
