Hi, The idea of combining read with prepare sounds good. Regarding reducing the commit round trip, it is possible today by giving a lower consistency level for commit I think.
Regarding EPaxos, it is a large change and will take longer to land. I think we should do this as it will help lower the latencies a lot.
