yep, I think the cluster is in P2P mode when they startup. Then a leader election algorithm will change the cluster into the M/S mode (RAFT algorithm is qualified). If the master is down, a new master can be elected and lead the cluster.
By the way, we need to consider the cost of keeping strong consistency of data. As time series data in IoT scenario is hard to conflict with each other ( I mean, user1 sends data point (t1, v1) that represents device 1 and sensor 1, meanwhile user2 sends a data point (t2, v2) that represents the same device and sensor and t2=t1). So, supporting multiple consistency level is better for keeping high write performance.
