   > what the user desires is increased availability
   
   I think that depends on who the "user" is. If we are talking about an app 
developer, the person writing the code that uses the Scanner, then I'm not sure 
that they will give any thought to system or data availability. If the user is 
a system administrator, then they will deploy ScanServers for system and data 
availability.
   
   Looking at [PACELC](http://www.cs.umd.edu/~abadi/papers/abadi-pacelc.pdf), 
Accumulo prioritizes Consistency when operating normally (PC/EC). Using 
ScanServers enables the system administrator and app developer to use Accumulo 
in a PC/EL manner.
   
   Since this is an API for app developers, do we talk about this in terms of 
latency? `prioritizeLatency()` ?
